From c249f255aab86b9b187ba319b9d2684841ac7c8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Kleikamp Date: Mon, 15 May 2017 14:14:13 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] sched/rt: Minimize rq->lock contention in do_sched_rt_period_timer() With CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED=y, do_sched_rt_period_timer() sequentially takes each CPU's rq->lock. On a large, busy system, the cumulative time it takes to acquire each lock can be excessive, even triggering a watchdog timeout. If rt_rq->rt_time and rt_rq->rt_nr_running are both zero, this function does nothing while holding the lock, so don't bother taking it at all.
