[PATCH] tracing: Use task_nice() in function __update_max_tr() to get the nice value of task.

[PATCH] tracing: Use task_nice() in function __update_max_tr() to get the nice value of task.

[Dongsheng Yang]

There is already a function named task_nice in sched.h to get the nice value
of task_struct. We can use it in __update_max_tr() rather than calculate it
manually.

Except that's a function call in a critical path. Switch it to
TASK_NICE(), and I'll take the patch.

Bah, I just noticed that TASK_NICE is in kernel/sched/sched.h not
include/linux/sched.h

Peter, is there a reason that task_nice() is not a static inline in
sched.h and have these macros there too? They only reference fields in
task_struct that are already defined there. I don't see why they need
to be private to kernel/sched.

Agree. These macros are useful to other modules out of kernel/sched.
But they are private to kernel/sched currently.

If we move them to include/linux/sched.h, I will use TASK_NICE in this 
patch.

And the floodgates open.. _why_ would a module care about nice values?
That's sounds just so full of wrong.

As Dongsheng already said, it's not for modules, but for other parts of
the core kernel.

It's not like modules or other parts can't just reimplement those
macros. All the fields are already public in linux/sched.h. In fact, the
reason for this discussion is to get rid of an open coded implementation
in the tracing facility.

[PATCH 0/3] sched: Collect the bits about priority into a new header file, include/linux/sched/prio.h.

[Dongsheng Yang]

Hi Peter,
    This patch set collect the bits about priority in linux/sched/prio.h and
expose some macros about priority here. So that the other parts of core kernel
can use the them without reimplementing it in an open way.

Dongsheng Yang (3):
  sched: Move the priority specific bits into a new header file.
  sched: Expose some macros related with priority.
  sched: Implement task_nice and task_prio as static inline functions.

It should just be your own timezone. I think you had the wrong timezone
before as it was "Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2014 17:15:36 -0500". You had the
same timezone as I have (-0500). But this email is correct:

 Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2014 23:59:06 +0800

Basically, whatever you use to send email, make sure that it is set up
to send with your own timezone. There's no standard one for LKML. The
mail clients will do the conversion.

[PATCH 1/3] sched: Move the priority specific bits into a new header file.

[Dongsheng Yang]

Some bits about priority are defined in linux/sched/rt.h, but
some of them are not only for rt scheduler, such as MAX_PRIO.

This patch move them all into a new header file, linux/sched/prio.h.

It seems you don't need to use #ifndef-#endif pair to include a header

Sorry for the late reply, coming back from vacation for Chinese Spring 
Festival.

The reason I use #ifndef-#endif here is that there are lots of files,
  such as kernel/sched/sched.h, are including <linux/sched.h> and
<linux/sched/rt.h>. And both of them are including prio.h.

I am not sure should we avoid reincluding a file and how.

Could you help to give me some suggestion of it. Thanx :)

That's why you have:

+++ b/include/linux/sched/prio.h
@@ -0,0 +1,23 @@
+#ifndef _SCHED_PRIO_H
+#define _SCHED_PRIO_H

The first time a header gets included, it checks if _SCHED_PRIO_H is
defined, if not, it defines it and continues. Otherwise it skips the
content of the file.

This is so standard practice that CPP (C Pre-Processor) optimizes this
by checking if this exists and caches it. It wont even open the file
the second time it sees it included.

sched: Move the priority specific bits into a new header file

Some bits about priority are defined in linux/sched/rt.h, but
some of them are not only for rt scheduler, such as MAX_PRIO.

This patch move them all into a new header file, linux/sched/prio.h.

[PATCH 2/3] sched: Expose some macros related with priority.

[Dongsheng Yang]

Some macros in kernel/sched/sched.h about priority are
private to kernel/sched. But they are useful to other
parts of the core kernel.

This patch move these macros from kernel/sched/sched.h to
include/linux/sched/prio.h so that they are available to
other subsystems.

Who would ever want to use/rely on this? It doesn't make any sense. And
therefore it shouldn't ever be considered time critical.

Urgh, no. Just remove the macro already. Although arguably we should
remove ->static_prio and clean up that entire mess.

I just copy it from kernel/sched/core.c. Currently, it is used in 
fs/proc/array.c.

Just leave it there. Nobody should use this value anyhow.

tip/sched/core or tip/master, but that's not the issue. There's no point
in having an inline and a macro that do the exact same thing.

Okey, so, do you mean I should remove the macro of TASK_NICE and
implement it directly in inline task_nice?  If so, I will send v2 soon.

Yah, although ideally someone would rethink the entire prio thing and
get rid of the back and forth.

sched: Implement task_nice() as static inline function

As patch "sched: Move the priority specific bits into a new header file" exposes
the priority related macros in linux/sched/prio.h, we don't have to implement
task_nice() in kernel/sched/core.c any more.

This patch implements it in linux/sched/sched.h as static inline function,
saving the kernel stack and enhancing performance a bit.

Sorry for my misnomer with 'modules'. Actually I mean other subsystems in
kernel, such as trace, sched, rcu. :)

I did not mean the module for modprobe.

Sorry for my terrible expression :(.

Hi Steve,
     As my patch to implement task_nice() as inline function was applied 
to tip tree.
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/commit/?id=d0ea026808ad81de2af14938448419a95211b938

     Please consider to apply this patch in this thread. Thanx :)
