This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled sched,rt: fix isolated CPUs leaving root_task_group indefinitely to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 2d2dc4140983fa8087daa3e98a722267b5f0556c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Date: Tue, 7 Aug 2012 10:02:38 +0200 Subject: sched,rt: fix isolated CPUs leaving root_task_group indefinitely throttled commit e221d028bb08b47e624c5f0a31732c642db9d19a upstream. Root task group bandwidth replenishment must service all CPUs, regardless of where the timer was last started, and regardless of the isolation mechanism, lest 'Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore"' become rt scheduling policy.
