Hi everyone,

Commit d66792919d4f (sched/deadline: Use revised wakeup rule for dl_server)
[1] introduced a marked degradation in scheduling latency for real-time
tasks in the presence of heavy I/O load.

Can this be the same regression reported here?

Yes, this is the same issue. I wonder where the 50 ms are coming from ... The value is fairly consistent also in my results.

Please notice the list of missing subsequent fixes Mike is suggesting to
test with.

I will take a look at the mentioned patches.

Thanks,
Juri

Thank you for the update,
