Subject: [PATCH 01/18 v2] sched/eevdf: Decay positive lag of sleeping entities
Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2026 17:43:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002154415.2270586-2-vincent.guittot@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261002154415.2270586-1-vincent.guittot@linaro.org>
Similarly to delayed dequeue that enables an entity to decay its negative
lag while sleeping, a task should not keep a positive lag forever.
The sleep duration and the weight of the entity is used to decay the
positive lag at wakeup.
