Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
- The biggest change is introduction of a new iteration of the
SCHED_FAIR interactivity code: the EEVDF ("Earliest Eligible Virtual
Deadline First") scheduler
EEVDF too is a virtual-time scheduler, with two parameters (weight
and relative deadline), compared to CFS that had weight only. It
completely reworks the base scheduler: placement, preemption, picking
-- everything
LWN.net, as usual, has a terrific writeup about EEVDF:
https://lwn.net/Articles/925371/
Preemption (both tick and wakeup) is driven by testing against a
fresh pick. Because the tree is now effectively an interval tree, and
the selection is no longer the 'leftmost' task, over-scheduling is
less of a problem. A lot of the CFS heuristics are removed or
replaced by more natural latency-space parameters & constructs
In terms of expected performance regressions: we will and can fix
everything where a 'good' workload misbehaves with the new scheduler,
but EEVDF inevitably changes workload scheduling in a binary fashion,
hopefully for the better in the overwhelming majority of cases, but
in some cases it won't, especially in adversarial loads that got
lucky with the previous code, such as some variants of hackbench. We
are trying hard to err on the side of fixing all performance
regressions, but we expect some inevitable post-release iterations of
that process
- Improve load-balancing on hybrid x86 systems: enable cluster
scheduling (again)
- Improve & fix bandwidth-scheduling on nohz systems
- Improve bandwidth-throttling
- Use lock guards to simplify and de-goto-ify control flow
- Misc improvements, cleanups and fixes
