Subject: [PATCH 0/4] sched/rt: Distribute tasks in find_lowest_rq()
Date:   Tue, 14 Apr 2020 16:05:52 +0100
Message-Id: <20200414150556.10920-1-qais.yousef@arm.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Now that we have a proper function that returns a 'random' CPU in a mask [1]
utilize that in find_lowest_rq() to solve the thundering herd issue described
in this thread

	https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200219140243.wfljmupcrwm2jelo@e107158-lin/

But as a pre-amble, I noticed that the new cpumask_any_and_distribute() is
actually an alias for cpumask_any_and() which is documented as returning
a 'random' cpu but actually just does cpumask_first_and().

The first 3 patches cleanup the API so that the whole family of
cpumask_any*() take advantage of the new 'random' behavior and in patch
4 I convert the cpumask_first_and() --> cpumask_any_and() in find_lowest_rq()
to allow to better distribute the RT tasks that wake up simultaneously.

Qais Yousef (4):
  cpumask: Rename cpumask_any_and_distribute
  cpumask: Make cpumask_any() truly random
  cpumask: Convert cpumask_any_but() to the new random function
  sched/rt: Better distribute tasks that wakeup simultaneously
