Subject: [PATCH 7/9] xen: sched: fix per-socket runqueue creation in credit2
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2015 18:56:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150929165618.17589.42885.stgit@Solace.station> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150929164726.17589.96920.stgit@Solace.station>

The credit2 scheduler tries to setup runqueues in such
a way that there is one of them per each socket. However,
that does not work. The issue is described in bug #36
"credit2 only uses one runqueue instead of one runq per
socket" (http://bugs.xenproject.org/xen/bug/36), and a
solution has been attempted by an old patch series:

 http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-08/msg02168.html

Here, we take advantage of the fact that now initialization
happens (for all schedulers) during CPU_STARTING, so we
have all the topology information available when necessary.

This is true for all the pCPUs _except_ the boot CPU. That
is not an issue, though. In fact, no runqueue exists yet
when the boot CPU is initialized, so we can just create
one and put the boot CPU in there.
