From 34f971f6f7988be4d014eec3e3526bee6d007ffa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 22 Sep 2010 13:53:15 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Create special class for stop/migrate work In order to separate the stop/migrate work thread from the SCHED_FIFO implementation, create a special class for it that is of higher priority than SCHED_FIFO itself. This currently solves a problem where cpu-hotplug consumes so much cpu-time that the SCHED_FIFO class gets throttled, but has the bandwidth replenishment timer pending on the now dead cpu. It is also required for when we add the planned deadline scheduling class above SCHED_FIFO, as the stop/migrate thread still needs to transcent those tasks.
