Also, I have want to know what's real meaning of

in update_curr(), IMHO, it should be

   add_wait_runtime(rq, curr, delta_mine - delta_fair);

Is this just another heuristics? or my opinion is wrong again? :-)

well, ->wait_runtime is in real time units. If a task executes delta_exec time on the CPU, we deduct "-delta_exec" 1:1. But during that time the task also got entitled to a bit more CPU time, that is +delta_mine. The calculation above expresses this. I'm not sure what sense '-delta_fair' would make - "delta_fair" is the amount of time a nice-0 task would be entitled to - but this task might not be a nice-0 task. Furthermore, even for a nice-0 task why deduct -delta_fair - it spent delta_exec on the CPU.


Eh, I wrong again~ I even took an experiment in last week end, this idea is really bad! ;(

I think the most inner of source of my wrong again and again is
misunderstanding virtual time. For more better understanding this, I try to write one python script to simulate CFS behavior. However, It can not implement the fairness as I want. I really confuse here.

Would you like help me point out what's wrong in it? Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks in advanced.
