OK, the patch doesn't seem to depend on anything in -tip, so I'm going to
apply it.

Thanks!

[PATCH v4] cpufreq: schedutil: rate limits for SCHED_DEADLINE

2018-03-13 Thread Claudio Scordino
When the SCHED_DEADLINE scheduling class increases the CPU utilization,
we should not wait for the rate limit, otherwise we may miss some
deadline.

Tests using rt-app on Exynos5422 with up to 10 SCHED_DEADLINE tasks have
shown reductions of even 10% of deadline misses with a negligible
increase of energy consumption (measured through Baylibre Cape).

Changes from v3:
 - Specific routine renamed as ignore_dl_rate_limit()
---
Changes from v2:
 - Rate limit ignored also in case of "fast switch"
 - Specific routine added
---
Changes from v1:
 - Logic moved from sugov_should_update_freq() to
   sugov_update_single()/_shared() to not duplicate data structures
 - Rate limit not ignored in case of "fast switch"
