Subject: [RFC PATCH 09/11] sched/rt: Fix proxy/current (push,pull)ability
From: Valentin Schneider <valentin.schneider@....com>
Proxy execution forms atomic pairs of tasks: a proxy (scheduling context)
and an owner (execution context). The proxy, along with the rest of the
blocked chain, follows the owner wrt CPU placement.
They can be the same task, in which case push/pull doesn't need any
modification. When they are different, however,
FIFO1 & FIFO42:
,-> RT42
| | blocked-on
| v
proxied-by | mutex
| | owner
| v
`-- RT1
RT1
RT42
CPU0 CPU1
^ ^
| |
overloaded !overloaded
rq prio = 42 rq prio = 0
RT1 is eligible to be pushed to CPU1, but should that happen it will
"carry" RT42 along. Clearly here neither RT1 nor RT42 must be seen as
push/pullable.
Furthermore, tasks becoming blocked on a mutex don't need an explicit
dequeue/enqueue cycle to be made (push/pull)able: they have to be running
to block on a mutex, thus they will eventually hit put_prev_task().
XXX: pinned tasks becoming unblocked should be removed from the push/pull
lists, but those don't get to see __schedule() straight away.
