Subject: [PATCH] PREEMPT_RT: sched/rr, sched/fair: defer CFS scheduler put_prev_task()
Defer calling put_prev_task() on a CFS task_struct when there is a
pending RT task to run. Instead wait until the next
pick_next_task_fair() and do the work there.
The put_prev_task() call for a SCHED_OTHER task is currently a source
of non determinism in the latency of scheduling a SCHED_FIFO task.
This results in a priority inversion as the CFS scheduler is updating
load average and balancing the rq rbtree while the SCHED_FIFO task is
waiting to run.
Instrumented results on a quad core ARM A57. This is measured just
across the put_prev_task() in pick_next_task_rt().
