[PATCH v2] sched: rt_rq runtime leakage bug fix

From: Cheng Xu
Date: Sat May 14 2011 - 02:21:17 EST


This patch is to fix the real-time scheduler bug reported at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/26/13. That is, when running multiple real-time
threads on every logical CPUs and then turning off one CPU, the kernel will
bug at function __disable_runtime().

Function __disable_runtime() bugs and reports leakage of rt_rq runtime. The
root cause is __disable_runtime() assumes it iterates through all the existing
rt_rq's while walking rq->leaf_rt_rq_list, which actually contains only
runnable rt_rq's. This problem also applies to __enable_runtime() and
print_rt_stats().

The patch is based on above analysis, appears to fix the problem, but is only
lightly tested.
