SubjectRe: [RFC/RFT PATCH] sched: automated per tty task groups
From
Date
It was suggested that I show a bit more info.

The same load without per tty task groups.

^^^^^usecs ^^^^^usecs ^^the competition got

Average service latency is an order of magnitude better with tty_sched.
(Imagine that pert is Xorg or whatnot instead)

Using Mathieu Desnoyers' wakeup-latency testcase (attached):

With taskset -c 3 make -j 10 running..

taskset -c 3 ./wakeup-latency& sleep 30;killall wakeup-latency

without:
maximum latency: 42963.2 µs
average latency: 9077.0 µs
missed timer events: 0

with:
maximum latency: 4160.7 µs
average latency: 149.4 µs
missed timer events: 0

Patch makes a big difference in desktop feel under hefty load here.
