de-HZ-ification of the granularity defaults unearthed a pre-existing
property of CFS: while it correctly converges to the granularity goal,
it does not prevent run-time fluctuations in the range of
[-gran ... 0 ... +gran].
With the increase of the granularity due to the removal of HZ
dependencies, this becomes visible in chew-max output (with 5 tasks
running):
out: 28 . 27. 32 | flu: 0 . 0 | ran: 9 . 13 | per: 37 . 40
out: 27 . 27. 32 | flu: 0 . 0 | ran: 17 . 13 | per: 44 . 40

out: 28 . 27. 32 | flu: 0 . 0 | ran: 9 . 13 | per: 37 . 40
average slice is the ideal 13 msecs and the period is picture-perfect 40
msecs. But the 'ran' field fluctuates around 13.33 msecs and there's no
mechanism in CFS to keep that from happening: it's a perfectly valid
solution that CFS finds.
to fix this we add a granularity/preemption rule that knows about
the "target latency", which makes tasks that run longer than the ideal
latency run a bit less. The simplest approach is to simply decrease the
preemption granularity when a task overruns its ideal latency. For this
we have to track how much the task executed since its last preemption.
( this adds a new field to task_struct, but we can eliminate that
overhead in 2.6.24 by putting all the scheduler timestamps into an
anonymous union. )
with this change in place, chew-max output is fluctuation-less all
around:
out: 28 . 27. 39 | flu: 0 . 2 | ran: 13 . 13 | per: 41 . 40
out: 28 . 27. 39 | flu: 0 . 2 | ran: 13 . 13 | per: 41 . 40

There is an Amarok song switch time increase (regression) under
hefty load.
What is happening is that sleeper_bonus is never consumed, and only
rarely goes below runtime_limit, so for the most part, Amarok isn't
getting any bonus at all. We're keeping sleeper_bonus right at
runtime_limit (sched_latency == sched_runtime_limit == 40ms) forever, ie
we don't consume if we're lower that that, and don't add if we're above
it. One Amarok thread waking (or anybody else) will push us past the
threshold, so the next thread waking gets nada, but will reap pain from
the previous thread waking until we drop back to runtime_limit. It
looks to me like under load, some random task gets a bonus, and
everybody else pays, whether deserving or not.
This diff fixed the regression for me at any load rate.

Instead of specifying the preemption granularity, specify the wanted
latency. By fixing the granlarity to a constany the wakeup latency
it a function of the number of running tasks on the rq.
Invert this relation.
sysctl_sched_granularity becomes a minimum for the dynamic granularity
computed from the new sysctl_sched_latency.
Then use this latency to do more intelligent granularity decisions: if
there are fewer tasks running then we can schedule coarser. This helps
performance while still always keeping the latency target.

make the bonus balance more consistent: do not hand out a bonus if
there's too much in flight already, and only deduct as much from a
runner as it has the capacity. This makes the bonus engine a zero-sum
game (as intended).
this also simplifies the code:
text data bss dec hex filename
34770 2998 24 37792 93a0 sched.o.before
34749 2998 24 37771 938b sched.o.after
and it also avoids overscheduling in sleep-happy workloads like

remove HZ dependency from the granularity default. Use 10 msec for
the base granularity, 1 msec for wakeup granularity and 25 msec for
batch wakeup granularity. (These defaults are close to the values
that the default HZ=250 setting got previously, and thus it's the
most common setting.)

There are two problems with balance_tasks() and how it used:
1. The variables best_prio and best_prio_seen (inherited from the old
move_tasks()) were only required to handle problems caused by the
active/expired arrays, the order in which they were processed and the
possibility that the task with the highest priority could be on either.
These issues are no longer present and the extra overhead associated
with their use is unnecessary (and possibly wrong).
2. In the absence of CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED being set, the same
this_best_prio variable needs to be used by all scheduling classes or
there is a risk of moving too much load. E.g. if the highest priority
task on this at the beginning is a fairly low priority task and the rt
class migrates a task (during its turn) then that moved task becomes the
new highest priority task on this_rq but when the sched_fair class
initializes its copy of this_best_prio it will get the priority of the
original highest priority task as, due to the run queue locks being
held, the reschedule triggered by pull_task() will not have taken place.
This could result in inappropriate overriding of skip_for_load and
excessive load being moved.
The attached patch addresses these problems by deleting all reference to
best_prio and best_prio_seen and making this_best_prio a reference
parameter to the various functions involved.
load_balance_fair() has also been modified so that this_best_prio is
only reset (in the loop) if CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED is set. This should
preserve the effect of helping spread groups' higher priority tasks
around the available CPUs while improving system performance when
CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED isn't set.

The move_tasks() function is currently multiplexed with two distinct
capabilities:
1. attempt to move a specified amount of weighted load from one run
queue to another; and
2. attempt to move a specified number of tasks from one run queue to
another.
The first of these capabilities is used in two places, load_balance()
and load_balance_idle(), and in both of these cases the return value of
move_tasks() is used purely to decide if tasks/load were moved and no
notice of the actual number of tasks moved is taken.
The second capability is used in exactly one place,
active_load_balance(), to attempt to move exactly one task and, as
before, the return value is only used as an indicator of success or failure.
This multiplexing of sched_task() was introduced, by me, as part of the
smpnice patches and was motivated by the fact that the alternative, one
function to move specified load and one to move a single task, would
have led to two functions of roughly the same complexity as the old
move_tasks() (or the new balance_tasks()). However, the new modular
design of the new CFS scheduler allows a simpler solution to be adopted
and this patch addresses that solution by:
1. adding a new function, move_one_task(), to be used by
active_load_balance(); and
2. making move_tasks() a single purpose function that tries to move a
specified weighted load and returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.
One of the consequences of these changes is that neither move_one_task()
or the new move_tasks() care how many tasks sched_class.load_balance()
moves and this enables its interface to be simplified by returning the
amount of load moved as its result and removing the load_moved pointer
from the argument list. This helps simplify the new move_tasks() and
slightly reduces the amount of work done in each of
sched_class.load_balance()'s implementations.
Further simplification, e.g. changes to balance_tasks(), are possible
but (slightly) complicated by the special needs of load_balance_fair()
so I've left them to a later patch (if this one gets accepted).
NB Since move_tasks() gets called with two run queue locks held even
small reductions in overhead are worthwhile.
