Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH V3 6/6] sched/fair: Implement starvation monitor

Hey,

So Daniel provided the gory details :) .. but please let me highlight
one of his points below, which I think it might clarify why we might
want to start with a special case, patch 6 improved approach, before
possibly moving to more complex implementations.

In my understanding, if we simply postpone actual activation of the DL
server up to the point it really needs to boost/run for giving CFS tasks
some breath (the infamous 0-laxity :), we save RT tasks from useless
interruptions and still can keep EDF/CBS working w/o much changes.

It looks like a low hanging fruit, small improvement on what we have today
than doesn't prevent us for implementing more complex features (i.e., full
blown hierarchical scheduling, alternative schedulers) in the future if
the need arises.

Thanks!
Juri
