[PATCH 2/2] sched/cpupri: Remove pri_to_cpu[1]

From: Dietmar Eggemann
Date: Tue Sep 22 2020 - 04:39:55 EST


pri_to_cpu[1] isn't used since cpupri_set(..., newpri) is
never called with newpri = 99.

The valid RT priorities RT1..RT99 (p->rt_priority = [1..99]) map into
cpupri (idx of pri_to_cpu[]) = [2..100]

Current mapping:

p->rt_priority p->prio newpri cpupri

-1 -1 (CPUPRI_INVALID)

100 0 (CPUPRI_NORMAL)

1 98 98 2
...
49 50 50 50
50 49 49 51
...
99 0 0 100

So cpupri = 1 isn't used.

Reduce the size of pri_to_cpu[] by 1 and adapt the cpupri
implementation accordingly. This will save a useless for loop with an
atomic_read in cpupri_find_fitness() calling __cpupri_find().

New mapping:

p->rt_priority p->prio newpri cpupri

-1 -1 (CPUPRI_INVALID)

100 0 (CPUPRI_NORMAL)

1 98 98 1
...
49 50 50 49
50 49 49 50
...
99 0 0 99
