2010-01-22sched: Implement head queueing for sched_rtThomas Gleixner
The ability of enqueueing a task to the head of a SCHED_FIFO priority list is required to fix some violations of POSIX scheduling policy. Implement the functionality in sched_rt.

Remove the USER_SCHED feature. It has been scheduled to be removed in 2.6.34 as per http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=125728479022976&w=2 Signed-off-by: Dhaval Giani <dhaval.giani@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <1263990378.24844.3.camel@localhost> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2010-01-21sched: Fix the place where group powers are updatedGautham R Shenoy
We want to update the sched_group_powers when balance_cpu == this_cpu. Currently the group powers are updated only if the balance_cpu is the first CPU in the local group. But balance_cpu = this_cpu could also be the first idle cpu in the group. Hence fix the place where the group powers are updated.

2010-01-21sched: Assume *balance is validPeter Zijlstra
Since all load_balance() callers will have !NULL balance parameters we can now assume so and remove a few checks. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2010-01-21sched: Remove load_balance_newidle()Peter Zijlstra
The two functions: load_balance{,_newidle}() are very similar, with the following differences: - rq->lock usage - sb->balance_interval updates - *balance check So remove the load_balance_newidle() call with load_balance(.idle = CPU_NEWLY_IDLE), explicitly unlock the rq->lock before calling (would be done by double_lock_balance() anyway), and ignore the other differences for now.

2010-01-21sched: Unify load_balance{,_newidle}()Peter Zijlstra
load_balance() and load_balance_newidle() look remarkably similar, one key point they differ in is the condition on when to active balance. So split out that logic into a separate function. One side effect is that previously load_balance_newidle() used to fail and return -1 under these conditions, whereas now it doesn't. I've not yet fully figured out the whole -1 return case for either load_balance{,_newidle}().

2010-01-21sched: Add a lock break for PREEMPT=yPeter Zijlstra
