Subject: Re: [PATCH v3] sched/fair: fix unthrottle_cfs_rq for leaf_cfs_rq list
Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2020 19:56:38 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <17fc60a3-cc50-7cff-eb46-904c2f0c416e@canonical.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To:
Hi Vincent (and all CCed), I'm sorry to ping about such "old" patch, but
we experienced a similar condition to what this patch addresses; it's an
older kernel (4.15.x) but when suggesting the users to move to an
updated 5.4.x kernel, we noticed that this patch is not there, although
similar ones are (like [0] and [1]).
So, I'd like to ask if there's any particular reason to not backport
this fix to stable kernels, specially the longterm 5.4. The main reason
behind the question is that the code is very complex for non-experienced
scheduler developers, and I'm afraid in suggesting such backport to 5.4
and introduce complex-to-debug issues.
Let me know your thoughts Vincent (and all CCed), thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Guilherme
