11 * This code tracks the priority of each CPU so that global migration
12 * decisions are easy to calculate. Each CPU can be in a state as follows:
14 * (INVALID), NORMAL, RT1, ... RT99, HIGHER
16 * going from the lowest priority to the highest. CPUs in the INVALID state
17 * are not eligible for routing. The system maintains this state with
18 * a 2 dimensional bitmap (the first for priority class, the second for CPUs
19 * in that class). Therefore a typical application without affinity
20 * restrictions can find a suitable CPU with O(1) complexity (e.g. two bit
21 * searches). For tasks with affinity restrictions, the algorithm has a
22 * worst case complexity of O(min(101, nr_domcpus)), though the scenario that
23 * yields the worst case search is fairly contrived.
27 * p->rt_priority p->prio newpri cpupri
29 * -1 -1 (CPUPRI_INVALID)
31 * 99 0 (CPUPRI_NORMAL)
40 * 100 100 (CPUPRI_HIGHER)

76 * When looking at the vector, we need to read the counter,

79 * Note: This is still all racy, but we can deal with it.
80 * Ideally, we only want to look at masks that are set.
82 * If a mask is not set, then the only thing wrong is that we
83 * did a little more work than necessary.
85 * If we read a zero count but the mask is set, because of the
86 * memory barriers, that can only happen when the highest prio
87 * task for a run queue has left the run queue, in which case,
88 * it will be followed by a pull. If the task we are processing
89 * fails to find a proper place to go, that pull request will
90 * pull this task if the run queue is running at a lower
