From 7abc63b1bd412f7655b62ef3e35c3c11c5134636 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2011 22:03:48 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched/rt: Do not throttle when PI boosting When a runqueue has rt_runtime_us = 0 then the only way it can accumulate rt_time is via PI boosting. That causes the runqueue to be throttled and replenishing does not change anything due to rt_runtime_us = 0. So avoid that situation by clearing rt_time and skip the throttling alltogether.
