sched/deadline: Add SCHED_DEADLINE inheritance logic
Some method to deal with rt-mutexes and make sched_dl interact with the current PI-coded is needed, raising all but trivial issues, that needs (according to us) to be solved with some restructuring of the pi-code (i.e., going toward a proxy execution-ish implementation). This is under development, in the meanwhile, as a temporary solution, what this commits does is: - ensure a pi-lock owner with waiters is never throttled down. Instead, when it runs out of runtime, it immediately gets replenished and it's deadline is postponed; - the scheduling parameters (relative deadline and default runtime) used for that replenishments --during the whole period it holds the pi-lock-- are the ones of the waiting task with earliest deadline. Acting this way, we provide some kind of boosting to the lock-owner, still by using the existing (actually, slightly modified by the previous commit) pi-architecture. We would stress the fact that this is only a surely needed, all but clean solution to the problem. In the end it's only a way to re-start discussion within the community. So, as always, comments, ideas, rants, etc.. are welcome! :-) Signed-off-by: Dario Faggioli <raistlin@linux.it> Signed-off-by: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@gmail.com> [ Added !RT_MUTEXES build fix. ] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1383831828-15501-11-git-send-email-juri.lelli@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
