Re: [PATCH] sched/fair: Restart hrtick after same-task repicks

[Shubhang]

Hello everyone,

A gentle ping for this patch, sent on August 13.

A fair hrtick is one-shot. When it expires and schedule() selects the
current fair task again, the next == prev path skips
set_next_task_fair(), which normally starts the next fair hrtick.
Consequently, no new fair hrtick is armed after that same-task repick.

The patch starts a new one-shot fair hrtick only in this next == prev
path, and only when all queued fair entities are runnable
(h_nr_runnable == h_nr_queued).

Could you please comment on whether this is the appropriate point and
condition for starting the next fair hrtick?

Thanks,
