[PATCH 12/13] RT: CPU priority management

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This code tracks the priority of each CPU so that global migration
  decisions are easy to calculate.  Each CPU can be in a state as follows:

                 (INVALID), IDLE, NORMAL, RT1, ... RT99

  going from the lowest priority to the highest.  CPUs in the INVALID state
  are not eligible for routing.  The system maintains this state with
  a 2 dimensional bitmap (the first for priority class, the second for cpus
  in that class).  Therefore a typical application without affinity
  restrictions can find a suitable CPU with O(1) complexity (e.g. two bit
  searches).  For tasks with affinity restrictions, the algorithm has a
  worst case complexity of O(min(102, NR_CPUS)), though the scenario that
  yields the worst case search is fairly contrived.
