pri_to_cpu[1] isn't used since cpupri_set(..., newpri) is never called with newpri = 99. The valid RT priorities RT1..RT99 (p->rt_priority = [1..99]) map into cpupri (idx of pri_to_cpu[]) = [2..100] Current mapping: p->rt_priority p->prio newpri cpupri -1 -1 (CPUPRI_INVALID) 100 0 (CPUPRI_NORMAL) 1 98 98 2 ... 49 50 50 50 50 49 49 51 ... 99 0 0 100 So cpupri = 1 isn't used. Reduce the size of pri_to_cpu[] by 1 and adapt the cpupri implementation accordingly. This will save a useless for loop with an atomic_read in cpupri_find_fitness() calling __cpupri_find(). New mapping: p->rt_priority p->prio newpri cpupri -1 -1 (CPUPRI_INVALID) 100 0 (CPUPRI_NORMAL) 1 98 98 1 ... 49 50 50 49 50 49 49 50 ... 99 0 0 99 Signed-off-by: Dietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggemann@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200922083934.19275-3-dietmar.eggemann@arm.com
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
