The issue is that the scheduler interactivity estimator is a state machine and
can be fooled to some degree, and a cpu intensive task that just happens to
sleep a little bit gets significantly better priority than one that is fully
cpu bound all the time. Reverting that change is not a solution because it
can still be fooled by the same process sleeping lots for a few seconds or so
at startup and then changing to the cpu mostly-sleeping slightly behaviour.
This "fluctuating" behaviour is in my opinion worse which is why I removed
it.
Trying to find a "as simple as possible" test case for this problem
(that I consider a BUG in priority calculation) I've come up with this
very simple program:
------ sched_fooler.c -------------------------------
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
static void burn_cpu(unsigned int x)
{
static char buf[1024];
int i;
for (i=0; i < x; ++i)
buf[i%sizeof(buf)] = (x-i)*3;
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
unsigned long burn;
if (argc != 2)
return 1;
burn = (unsigned long)atoi(argv[1]);
while(1) {
burn_cpu(burn*1000);
usleep(1);
}
return 0;
}
----------------------------------------------

DD TEST: the usual DD test (to read 128 MB from a non-cached file =
disk bounded) says everything, numbers with 2.6.15-rc7:
paolo@tux /mnt $ mount space/; time dd if=space/bigfile of=/dev/null bs=1M count=128; umount space/
128+0 records in
128+0 records out
real 0m4.052s
user 0m0.004s
sys 0m0.180s
START 2 OF THEM "./a.out 10000 & ./a.out 4000"
paolo@tux /mnt $ mount space/; time dd if=space/bigfile of=/dev/null bs=1M count=128; umount space/
128+0 records in
128+0 records out
real 2m4.578s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.244s
This does't surprise me anymore, since DD gets priority 18 and these
two CPU eaters get 15/16.
As usual "nicksched" is NOT affected at all, IOW it gives to these CPU
eaters the priority that they deserve.
Attached is a testing version of a patch for modifying scheduler bonus
calculations that I'm working on. Although these changes aren't
targetted at the problem you are experiencing I believe that they may
help. My testing shows that sched_fooler instances don't get any
bonuses but I would appreciate it if you could try it out.
It is a patch against the 2.6.15-rc7 kernel and includes some other
scheduling patches from the -mm kernels.
Thanks
Peter
