Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 00/17] Core scheduling v2
Date:   Tue, 23 Apr 2019 16:18:05 +0000
Message-Id: <cover.1556025155.git.vpillai@digitalocean.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Second iteration of the core-scheduling feature.

This version fixes apparent bugs and performance issues in v1. This
doesn't fully address the issue of core sharing between processes
with different tags. Core sharing still happens 1% to 5% of the time
based on the nature of workload and timing of the runnable processes.

Changes in v2
-------------
- rebased on mainline commit: 6d906f99817951e2257d577656899da02bb33105
- Fixes for couple of NULL pointer dereference crashes
  - Subhra Mazumdar
  - Tim Chen
- Improves priority comparison logic for process in different cpus
  - Peter Zijlstra
  - Aaron Lu
- Fixes a hard lockup in rq locking
  - Vineeth Pillai
  - Julien Desfossez
- Fixes a performance issue seen on IO heavy workloads
  - Vineeth Pillai
  - Julien Desfossez
- Fix for 32bit build
  - Aubrey Li

Issues
------
- Processes with different tags can still share the core
- A crash when disabling cpus with core-scheduling on
   - https://paste.debian.net/plainh/fa6bcfa8
