Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/3] sched/deadline: cpuset: Rework DEADLINE bandwidth restoration

Qais reported [1] that iterating over all tasks when rebuilding root
domains for finding out which ones are DEADLINE and need their bandwidth
correctly restored on such root domains can be a costly operation (10+
ms delays on suspend-resume). He proposed we skip rebuilding root
domains for certain operations, but that approach seemed arch specific
and possibly prone to errors, as paths that ultimately trigger a rebuild
might be quite convoluted (thanks Qais for spending time on this!).

To fix the problem I instead would propose we

 1 - Bring back cpuset_mutex (so that we have write access to cpusets
     from scheduler operations - and we also fix some problems
     associated to percpu_cpuset_rwsem)
 2 - Keep track of the number of DEADLINE tasks belonging to each cpuset
 3 - Use this information to only perform the costly iteration if
     DEADLINE tasks are actually present in the cpuset for which a
     corresponding root domain is being rebuilt

This set is also available from

https://github.com/jlelli/linux.git deadline/rework-cpusets

Feedback is more than welcome.

Best,
Juri

  cgroup/cpuset: Iterate only if DEADLINE tasks are present
