2014-02-27sched/deadline: Switch CPU's presence test orderJuri Lelli
Commit 82b9580 ("sched/deadline: Test for CPU's presence explicitly") changed how we check if a CPU returned by cpudeadline machinery is valid. But, we don't want to call cpu_present() if best_cpu is equal to -1. So, switch the order of tests inside WARN_ON().

2014-02-21sched/deadline: Test for CPU's presence explicitlyBoris Ostrovsky
A hot-removed CPU may have ID that is numerically larger than the number of existing CPUs in the system (e.g. we can unplug CPU 4 from a system that has CPUs 0, 1 and 4). Thus the WARN_ONs should check whether the CPU in question is currently present, not whether its ID value is less than num_present_cpus().

2014-01-13sched/deadline: speed up SCHED_DEADLINE pushes with a push-heapJuri Lelli
Data from tests confirmed that the original active load balancing logic didn't scale neither in the number of CPU nor in the number of tasks (as sched_rt does). Here we provide a global data structure to keep track of deadlines of the running tasks in the system. The structure is composed by a bitmask showing the free CPUs and a max-heap, needed when the system is heavily loaded. The implementation and concurrent access scheme are kept simple by design. However, our measurements show that we can compete with sched_rt on large multi-CPUs machines [1]. Only the push path is addressed, the extension to use this structure also for pull decisions is straightforward. However, we are currently evaluating different (in order to decrease/avoid contention) data structures to solve possibly both problems. We are also going to re-run tests considering recent changes inside cpupri [2].
