[PATCH] sched/deadline: remove useless param from setup_new_dl_entity

[PATCH] sched/deadline: remove useless param from setup_new_dl_entity

[Juri Lelli]

setup_new_dl_entity() takes two parameters, but it only actually uses
one of them to setup a new dl_entity.

Remove the second, useless, parameter.

Funnily enough, I was adding something similar in my local queue :)
Looks good to me

Actually this patch is making it so that setup_new_dl_entity() only
uses one of the parameters. Can you note why that change happened.
Because this change log implies that the second parameter wasn't used
before this patch, and that is incorrect.

This patch reverts part of the change done in
commit 2d3d891d334 "sched/deadline: Add SCHED_DEADLINE inheritance
logic"

It would be nice to have the reason in the change log.

Thanks,

True, but we were practically already using the same parameter, under a
different name though, after

2f9f3fdc928 "sched/deadline: Remove dl_new from struct sched_dl_entity"

as we currently do:

  setup_new_dl_entity(&p->dl, &p->dl)

Before Luca's change we were doing

 setup_new_dl_entity(dl_se, pi_se)

in update_dl_entity() for a dl_se->new entity. So, I guess the question
is actually why we wanted to use pi_se's parameters (the potential PI
donor) for setting up a new entity? Maybe we broke the situation where a
task is currently boosted by a DEADLINE waiter and we swich the holder
to DEADLINE?

Thanks a lot for pointing out what might be more than inaccuracy in the
changelog.

That's a good question :)

I remember I tested this setup (using linaro's version of rt-app), and
it seemed to work correctly...

Re-reading the code now, I actually wonder why my patch did not break
inheritance in this situation...

Ok; I think I know why inheritance is not broken (or, at least, it does
not appear to be broken when testing it with rt-app):
- When a -deadline task blocks on a mutex that is held by a SCHED_OTHER
  or SCHED_FIFO task, such a task is promoted to -deadline
- setup_new_dl_entity() is invoked, and it sets the tasks' deadline to
  rq_clock(rq) (+ 0), so the task holding the lock is immediately
  scheduled
- as soon as update_curr_dl() is invoked (in the worst case at the next
  tick), the task's deadline and runtime are set to the "desired values"
  (using pi_se)

So, the behaviour is not changed too much respect to the previous one.
