From 9d514262425691dddf942edea8bc9919e66fe140 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wanpeng Li Date: Wed, 13 May 2015 14:01:03 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] sched/deadline: Reduce rq lock contention by eliminating locking of non-feasible target This patch adds a check that prevents futile attempts to move DL tasks to a CPU with active tasks of equal or earlier deadline. The same behavior as commit 80e3d87b2c55 ("sched/rt: Reduce rq lock contention by eliminating locking of non-feasible target") for rt class.
