rtmutex_set_prio() is used to implement priority inheritance for futexes. When a task is deboosted it gets enqueued at the tail of its RT priority list. This is violating the POSIX scheduling semantics: rt priority list X contains two runnable tasks A and B task A runs with priority X and holds mutex M task C preempts A and is blocked on mutex M -> task A is boosted to priority of task C (Y) task A unlocks the mutex M and deboosts itself -> A is dequeued from rt priority list Y -> A is enqueued to the tail of rt priority list X task C schedules away task B runs This is wrong as task A did not schedule away and therefor violates the POSIX scheduling semantics. Enqueue the task to the head of the priority list instead.

We want to update the sched_group_powers when balance_cpu == this_cpu. Currently the group powers are updated only if the balance_cpu is the first CPU in the local group. But balance_cpu = this_cpu could also be the first idle cpu in the group. Hence fix the place where the group powers are updated.

Since all load_balance() callers will have !NULL balance parameters we can now assume so and remove a few checks. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

The two functions: load_balance{,_newidle}() are very similar, with the following differences: - rq->lock usage - sb->balance_interval updates - *balance check So remove the load_balance_newidle() call with load_balance(.idle = CPU_NEWLY_IDLE), explicitly unlock the rq->lock before calling (would be done by double_lock_balance() anyway), and ignore the other differences for now.

Peter Zijlstra authored
load_balance() and load_balance_newidle() look remarkably similar, one key point they differ in is the condition on when to active balance. So split out that logic into a separate function. One side effect is that previously load_balance_newidle() used to fail and return -1 under these conditions, whereas now it doesn't. I've not yet fully figured out the whole -1 return case for either load_balance{,_newidle}().
