Subject: [PATCH RFC] sched/fair: fix sudden expiration of cfq quota in put_prev_task()
Date: Fri, 03 Apr 2015 15:41:38 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150403124138.1349.11633.stgit@buzz> (raw)

Pick_next_task_fair() must be sure that here is at least one runnable
task before calling put_prev_task(), but put_prev_task() can expire
last remains of cfs quota and throttle all currently runnable tasks.
As a result pick_next_task_fair() cannot find next task and crashes.

This patch leaves 1 in ->runtime_remaining when current assignation
expires and tries to refill it right after that. In the worst case
task will be scheduled once and throttled at the end of slice.
