[patch 1/5] sched: Limit the number of task migrations per batch on RT

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Tue Sep 28 2021 - 08:24:31 EST


Batched task migrations are a source for large latencies as they keep the
scheduler from running while processing the migrations.

Limit the batch size to 8 instead of 32 when running on a RT enabled
kernel.
