Revision 2548d546d40c0014efdde88a53bf7896e917dcce authored by Peter Zijlstra on 21 April 2016, 16:03:15 UTC, committed by Ingo Molnar on 28 April 2016, 08:28:55 UTC
Chris Metcalf reported a that sched_can_stop_tick() sometimes fails to
re-enable the tick.

His observed problem is that rq->cfs.nr_running can be 1 even though
there are multiple runnable CFS tasks. This happens in the cgroup
case, in which case cfs.nr_running is the number of runnable entities
for that level.

If there is a single runnable cgroup (which can have an arbitrary
number of runnable child entries itself) rq->cfs.nr_running will be 1.

However, looking at that function I think there's more problems with it.

It seems to assume that if there's FIFO tasks, those will run. This is
incorrect. The FIFO task can have a lower prio than an RR task, in which
case the RR task will run.

So the whole fifo_nr_running test seems misplaced, it should go after
the rr_nr_running tests. That is, only if !rr_nr_running, can we use
fifo_nr_running like this.
