[PATCH v3 6/6] sched/deadline/rtmutex: Don't miss the dl_runtime/dl_period update

From: Xunlei Pang
Date: Thu Apr 14 2016 - 07:37:51 EST


Currently dl tasks will actually return at the very beginning
of rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain() in !detect_deadlock cases:

if (waiter->prio == task->prio) {
if (!detect_deadlock)
goto out_unlock_pi; // out here
else
requeue = false;
}

As the deadline value of blocked deadline tasks(waiters) without
changing their sched_class(thus prio doesn't change) never changes,
this seems reasonable, but it actually misses the chance of updating
rt_mutex_waiter's "dl_runtime(period)_copy" if a waiter updates its
deadline parameters(dl_runtime, dl_period) or boosted waiter changes
to !deadline class.

Thus, force deadline task not out by adding the !dl_prio() condition.
