From: Byungchul Park
Date: Wed Aug 23 2017 - 21:06:12 EST


Change from v9
-. modify a comment a bit so to be more clear

Change from v8
-. add suggested-by Peterz
-. add several comments

Change from v7
-. fix a trivial typo
-. modify commit messages to explain what it does more clearly
-. simplify code with an existing macro

Change from v6
-. add a comment about selection of fallback_cpu incase more than one exist
-. modify a comment explaining what we do wrt PREFER_SIBLING

Change from v5
-. exclude two patches already picked up by peterz
(sched/deadline: Make find_later_rq() choose a closer cpu in topology)
(sched/deadline: Change return value of cpudl_find())
-. apply what peterz fixed for 'prefer sibling', into deadline and rt

Change from v4
-. remove a patch that might cause huge lock contention
(by spin lock(&cpudl.lock) in a hot path of scheduler)

Change from v3
-. rename closest_cpu to best_cpu so that it align with rt
-. protect referring cpudl.elements with cpudl.lock
-. change return value of cpudl_find() to bool

Change from v2
-. add support for SD_PREFER_SIBLING

Change from v1
-. clean up the patch

Byungchul Park (2):
sched/deadline: Add support for SD_PREFER_SIBLING on find_later_rq()
sched/rt: Add support for SD_PREFER_SIBLING on find_lowest_rq()
