sched: fix high wake up latencies with FAIR_USER_SCHED
The reason why we are getting better wakeup latencies for !FAIR_USER_SCHED is because of this snippet of code in place_entity(): if (!initial) { /* sleeps upto a single latency don't count. */ if (sched_feat(NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS) && entity_is_task(se)) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ vruntime -= sysctl_sched_latency; /* ensure we never gain time by being placed backwards. */ vruntime = max_vruntime(se->vruntime, vruntime); } NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS feature gives credit for sleeping only to tasks and not group-level entities. With the patch attached, I could see that wakeup latencies with FAIR_USER_SCHED are restored to the same level as !FAIR_USER_SCHED. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
