From d94a9df49069ba8ff7c4aaeca1229e6471a01a15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Qais Yousef Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2020 13:27:20 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] sched/rt: Remove unnecessary push for unfit tasks In task_woken_rt() and switched_to_rto() we try trigger push-pull if the task is unfit. But the logic is found lacking because if the task was the only one running on the CPU, then rt_rq is not in overloaded state and won't trigger a push. The necessity of this logic was under a debate as well, a summary of the discussion can be found in the following thread: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200226160247.iqvdakiqbakk2llz@e107158-lin.cambridge.arm.com/ Remove the logic for now until a better approach is agreed upon.
