* sched: Fix switch_from_fair()Peter Zijlstra2011-01-261-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a task is taken out of the fair class we must ensure the vruntime is properly normalized because when we put it back in it will assume to be normalized. The case that goes wrong is when changing away from the fair class while sleeping. Sleeping tasks have non-normalized vruntime in order to make sleeper-fairness work. So treat the switch away from fair as a wakeup and preserve the relative vruntime. Also update sysrq-n to call the ->switch_{to,from} methods.

* sched: Fix cross-sched-class wakeup preemptionPeter Zijlstra2010-11-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of dealing with sched classes inside each check_preempt_curr() implementation, pull out this logic into the generic wakeup preemption path. This fixes a hang in KVM (and others) where we are waiting for the stop machine thread to run ...

* sched: Fix runnable condition for stoptaskPeter Zijlstra2010-11-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Heiko reported that the TASK_RUNNING check is not sufficient for CONFIG_PREEMPT=y since we can get preempted with !TASK_RUNNING. He suggested adding a ->se.on_rq test to the existing TASK_RUNNING one, however TASK_RUNNING will always have ->se.on_rq, so we might as well reduce that to a single test. [ stop tasks should never get preempted, but its good to handle this case correctly should this ever happen ] Reported-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* sched: Create special class for stop/migrate workPeter Zijlstra2010-10-181-0/+108
In order to separate the stop/migrate work thread from the SCHED_FIFO implementation, create a special class for it that is of higher priority than SCHED_FIFO itself. This currently solves a problem where cpu-hotplug consumes so much cpu-time that the SCHED_FIFO class gets throttled, but has the bandwidth replenishment timer pending on the now dead cpu. It is also required for when we add the planned deadline scheduling class above SCHED_FIFO, as the stop/migrate thread still needs to transcent those tasks.
