[PATCH v3] sched/rt : return accurate release rq lock info
From: Peng Hao
Date: Fri Oct 05 2018 - 10:10:51 EST
find_lock_lowest_rq may or not releease rq lock when return
lowest_rq=NULL, but it is fuzzy.
If not releasing rq lock, it is unnecessary to re-call
pick_next_pushable_task.
When CONFIG_PREEMPT=n, not releasing rq lock and return
lowest_rq=null frequently happens in a simple test case:
Four different rt priority tasks run on limited two cpus.
Thanks for Steven Rostedt's advice.
