From 013d3868143387be99bb0373d49452eaa3c55d41 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Andersson Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2006 01:15:18 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] sched: fix task interactivity calculation Is a truncation error in kernel/sched.c triggered when the nice value is negative. The affected code is used in the TASK_INTERACTIVE macro. The code is: #define SCALE(v1,v1_max,v2_max) \ (v1) * (v2_max) / (v1_max) which is used in this way: SCALE(TASK_NICE(p), 40, MAX_BONUS) Comments in the code says: * This part scales the interactivity limit depending on niceness. * * We scale it linearly, offset by the INTERACTIVE_DELTA delta. * Here are a few examples of different nice levels: * * TASK_INTERACTIVE(-20): [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0] * TASK_INTERACTIVE(-10): [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0] * TASK_INTERACTIVE( 0): [1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0] * TASK_INTERACTIVE( 10): [1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0] * TASK_INTERACTIVE( 19): [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0] * * (the X axis represents the possible -5 ... 0 ... +5 dynamic * priority range a task can explore, a value of '1' means the * task is rated interactive.) However, the current code does not scale it linearly and the result differs from the given examples. If the mathematical function "floor" is used when the nice value is negative instead of the truncation one gets when using integer division, the result conforms to the documentation.
