Although, i have a question: When we enable group scheduling (CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED), all the problems disappear. After skimming through the rt scheduler code, I don't feel group scheduling alters the behavior of push/pull strategies in any way. So I am wonder whether enabling group scheduling actually solves the problem or just makes it tough to recreate? > I let you do more investigations. > Have a good week-end in you garage ;) Have a great weekend :) > -- -Thanks,Chirag -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
