Subject: [GIT PULL] scheduler changes for v5.5
Linus,
Please pull the latest sched-core-for-linus git tree from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git sched-core-for-linus
# HEAD: de881a341c4143650fa50ce95cf450a5c94faa9f Merge branch 'sched/rt' into sched/core, to pick up commit
The biggest changes in this cycle were:
- Make kcpustat vtime aware (Frederic Weisbecker)
- Rework the CFS load_balance() logic (Vincent Guittot)
- Misc cleanups, smaller enhancements, fixes.
The load-balancing rework is the most intrusive change: it replaces the
old heuristics that have become less meaningful after the introduction of
the PELT metrics, with a grounds-up load-balancing algorithm.
As such it's not really an iterative series, but replaces the old
load-balancing logic with the new one. We hope there are no performance
regressions left - but statistically it's highly probable that there *is*
going to be some workload that is hurting from these chnages. If so then
we'd prefer to have a look at that workload and fix its scheduling,
instead of reverting the changes.
Thanks,
Ingo
