Subject: sched: fix calc_delta_asym()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc1~1105^2~39
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c9c294a630e28eec5f2865f028ecfc58d45c0a5a;p=linux-2.6

sched: fix calc_delta_asym()

calc_delta_asym() is supposed to do the same as calc_delta_fair() except
linearly shrink the result for negative nice processes - this causes them
to have a smaller preemption threshold so that they are more easily preempted.

The problem is that for task groups se->load.weight is the per cpu share of
the actual task group weight; take that into account.

Also provide a debug switch to disable the asymmetry (which I still don't
like - but it does greatly benefit some workloads)

This would explain the interactivity issues reported against group scheduling.
