2016-09-10sched/deadline: Document behavior of sched_yield()Tommaso Cucinotta
This is a documentation only patch, explaining the behavior of sched_yield() when a SCHED_DEADLINE task calls it (give up remaining runtime and be throttled until next period begins).

2015-05-19sched/dl/Documentation: Add some notes on EDF schedulabilityLuca Abeni
Add a short discussion about sufficient and necessary schedulability tests, and add a simple example showing that if D_i != P_i then density based tests are only sufficient. Also add some references to scientific papers on schedulability tests for EDF that are both necessary and sufficient, and on their computational complexity.

2014-09-16Documentation/scheduler/sched-deadline.txt: Improve and clarify AC bitsLuca Abeni
Admission control is of key importance for SCHED_DEADLINE, since it guarantees system schedulability (or tells us something about the degree of guarantees we can provide to the user). This patch improves and clarifies bits and pieces regarding AC, both for UP and SMP systems.
