hm, CFS should already offer reasonable long-term SMP fairness. It
certainly works on a dual-core box, i just started 3 tasks of the same
priority on 2 CPUs, and on vanilla 2.6.23-rc1 the distribution is this:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
7084 mingo 20 0 1576 248 196 R 67 0.0 0:50.13 loop
7083 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 66 0.0 0:48.86 loop
7085 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 66 0.0 0:49.45 loop
so each task gets a perfect 66% of CPU time.
prior CFS, we indeed did a 50%/50%/100% split - so for example on
v2.6.22:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
2256 mingo 25 0 1580 248 196 R 100 0.0 1:03.19 loop
2255 mingo 25 0 1580 248 196 R 50 0.0 0:31.79 loop
2257 mingo 25 0 1580 248 196 R 50 0.0 0:31.69 loop
but CFS has changed that behavior.
I'll check your 10-tasks-on-8-cpus example on an 8-way box too, maybe we
regressed somewhere ...
