Subject: [PATCH v3 4/6] sched/rt: Allow pulling unfitting task
Date:   Mon,  2 Mar 2020 13:27:19 +0000
Message-Id: <20200302132721.8353-5-qais.yousef@arm.com>
In-Reply-To: <20200302132721.8353-1-qais.yousef@arm.com>
References: <20200302132721.8353-1-qais.yousef@arm.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

When implemented RT Capacity Awareness; the logic was done such that if
a task was running on a fitting CPU, then it was sticky and we would try
our best to keep it there.

But as Steve suggested, to adhere to the strict priority rules of RT
class; allow pulling an RT task to unfitting CPU to ensure it gets a
chance to run ASAP.
