we know from Nick's testing that the patches up to and including
dynamic-sched-domains-ia64-changes.patch are probably OK. So the
candidates for the regression are:
sched-implement-nice-support-across-physical-cpus-on-smp.patch
sched-change_prio_bias_only_if_queued.patch
sched-account_rt_tasks_in_prio_bias.patch
consolidate-preempt-options-into-kernel-kconfigpreempt.patch
enable-preempt_bkl-on-preemptsmp-too.patch
sched-tweak-idle-thread-setup-semantics.patch
sched-voluntary-kernel-preemption.patch
sched-smp-nice-bias-busy-queues-on-idle-rebalance.patch
sched-task_noninteractive.patch
sched-run-sched_normal-tasks-with-real-time-tasks-on-smt-siblings.patch
there are two feature patches in this:
enable-preempt_bkl-on-preemptsmp-too.patch
sched-voluntary-kernel-preemption.patch
so make sure you have PREEMPT_BKL and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY disabled.
these ones should not impact your workload's functionality (unless they
are buggy):
sched-account_rt_tasks_in_prio_bias.patch
consolidate-preempt-options-into-kernel-kconfigpreempt.patch
sched-tweak-idle-thread-setup-semantics.patch
sched-run-sched_normal-tasks-with-real-time-tasks-on-smt-siblings.patch
and unless you are using separate nice levels, this one shouldnt make a
difference in theory:
sched-implement-nice-support-across-physical-cpus-on-smp.patch
which leaves the following 3 likely candidates:
sched-change_prio_bias_only_if_queued.patch
sched-smp-nice-bias-busy-queues-on-idle-rebalance.patch
sched-task_noninteractive.patch
so if you could do a run with all 3 of the above unapplied, that would
be a good starting point. (But any of the others might be it too, if
they contain some sort of bug.)
