From: Juri Lelli Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2014 11:49:04 +0000 (+0200) Subject: sched/deadline: Fix sched_yield() behavior X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5bfd126e80dca70431aef8fdbc1cf14535f3c338;p=linux-beck.git sched/deadline: Fix sched_yield() behavior yield_task_dl() is broken: o it forces current to be throttled setting its runtime to zero; o it sets current's dl_se->dl_new to one, expecting that dl_task_timer() will queue it back with proper parameters at replenish time. Unfortunately, dl_task_timer() has this check at the very beginning: if (!dl_task(p) || dl_se->dl_new) goto unlock; So, it just bails out and the task is never replenished. It actually yielded forever. To fix this, introduce a new flag indicating that the task properly yielded the CPU before its current runtime expired. While this is a little overdoing at the moment, the flag would be useful in the future to discriminate between "good" jobs (of which remaining runtime could be reclaimed, i.e. recycled) and "bad" jobs (for which dl_throttled task has been set) that needed to be stopped.
