- * This returns the next cpu to check, or nr_cpu_ids if the loop
- * is complete.
+ * When a high priority task schedules out from a CPU and a lower priority
+ * task is scheduled in, a check is made to see if there's any RT tasks
+ * on other CPUs that are waiting to run because a higher priority RT task
+ * is currently running on its CPU. In this case, the CPU with multiple RT
+ * tasks queued on it (overloaded) needs to be notified that a CPU has opened
+ * up that may be able to run one of its non-running queued RT tasks.
+ *
+ * All CPUs with overloaded RT tasks need to be notified as there is currently
+ * no way to know which of these CPUs have the highest priority task waiting
+ * to run. Instead of trying to take a spinlock on each of these CPUs,
+ * which has shown to cause large latency when done on machines with many
+ * CPUs, sending an IPI to the CPUs to have them push off the overloaded
+ * RT tasks waiting to run.
+ *
+ * Just sending an IPI to each of the CPUs is also an issue, as on large
+ * count CPU machines, this can cause an IPI storm on a CPU, especially
+ * if its the only CPU with multiple RT tasks queued, and a large number
+ * of CPUs scheduling a lower priority task at the same time.
+ *
+ * Each root domain has its own irq work function that can iterate over
+ * all CPUs with RT overloaded tasks. Since all CPUs with overloaded RT
+ * tassk must be checked if there's one or many CPUs that are lowering
+ * their priority, there's a single irq work iterator that will try to
+ * push off RT tasks that are waiting to run.
+ *
+ * When a CPU schedules a lower priority task, it will kick off the
+ * irq work iterator that will jump to each CPU with overloaded RT tasks.
+ * As it only takes the first CPU that schedules a lower priority task
+ * to start the process, the rto_start variable is incremented and if
+ * the atomic result is one, then that CPU will try to take the rto_lock.
+ * This prevents high contention on the lock as the process handles all
+ * CPUs scheduling lower priority tasks.
+ *
+ * All CPUs that are scheduling a lower priority task will increment the
+ * rt_loop_next variable. This will make sure that the irq work iterator
+ * checks all RT overloaded CPUs whenever a CPU schedules a new lower
+ * priority task, even if the iterator is in the middle of a scan. Incrementing
+ * the rt_loop_next will cause the iterator to perform another scan.

- * When a high priority task schedules out from a CPU and a lower priority
- * task is scheduled in, a check is made to see if there's any RT tasks
- * on other CPUs that are waiting to run because a higher priority RT task
- * is currently running on its CPU. In this case, the CPU with multiple RT
- * tasks queued on it (overloaded) needs to be notified that a CPU has opened
- * up that may be able to run one of its non-running queued RT tasks.
- *
- * On large CPU boxes, there's the case that several CPUs could schedule
- * a lower priority task at the same time, in which case it will look for
- * any overloaded CPUs that it could pull a task from. To do this, the runqueue
- * lock must be taken from that overloaded CPU. Having 10s of CPUs all fighting
- * for a single overloaded CPU's runqueue lock can produce a large latency.
- * (This has actually been observed on large boxes running cyclictest).
- * Instead of taking the runqueue lock of the overloaded CPU, each of the
- * CPUs that scheduled a lower priority task simply sends an IPI to the
- * overloaded CPU. An IPI is much cheaper than taking an runqueue lock with
- * lots of contention. The overloaded CPU will look to push its non-running
- * RT task off, and if it does, it can then ignore the other IPIs coming
- * in, and just pass those IPIs off to any other overloaded CPU.
- *
- * When a CPU schedules a lower priority task, it only sends an IPI to
- * the "next" CPU that has overloaded RT tasks. This prevents IPI storms,
- * as having 10 CPUs scheduling lower priority tasks and 10 CPUs with
- * RT overloaded tasks, would cause 100 IPIs to go out at once.
- *
- * The overloaded RT CPU, when receiving an IPI, will try to push off its
- * overloaded RT tasks and then send an IPI to the next CPU that has
- * overloaded RT tasks. This stops when all CPUs with overloaded RT tasks
- * have completed. Just because a CPU may have pushed off its own overloaded
- * RT task does not mean it should stop sending the IPI around to other
- * overloaded CPUs. There may be another RT task waiting to run on one of
- * those CPUs that are of higher priority than the one that was just
- * pushed.
- *
- * An optimization that could possibly be made is to make a CPU array similar
- * to the cpupri array mask of all running RT tasks, but for the overloaded
- * case, then the IPI could be sent to only the CPU with the highest priority
- * RT task waiting, and that CPU could send off further IPIs to the CPU with
- * the next highest waiting task. Since the overloaded case is much less likely
- * to happen, the complexity of this implementation may not be worth it.
- * Instead, just send an IPI around to all overloaded CPUs.
- *
- * The rq->rt.push_flags holds the status of the IPI that is going around.
- * A run queue can only send out a single IPI at a time. The possible flags
- * for rq->rt.push_flags are:
- *
- * (None or zero): No IPI is going around for the current rq
- * RT_PUSH_IPI_EXECUTING: An IPI for the rq is being passed around
- * RT_PUSH_IPI_RESTART: The priority of the running task for the rq
- * has changed, and the IPI should restart
- * circulating the overloaded CPUs again.
- *
- * rq->rt.push_cpu contains the CPU that is being sent the IPI. It is updated
- * before sending to the next CPU.
- *
- * Instead of having all CPUs that schedule a lower priority task send
- * an IPI to the same "first" CPU in the RT overload mask, they send it
- * to the next overloaded CPU after their own CPU. This helps distribute
- * the work when there's more than one overloaded CPU and multiple CPUs
- * scheduling in lower priority tasks.
- *
- * When a rq schedules a lower priority task than what was currently
- * running, the next CPU with overloaded RT tasks is examined first.
- * That is, if CPU 1 and 5 are overloaded, and CPU 3 schedules a lower
- * priority task, it will send an IPI first to CPU 5, then CPU 5 will
- * send to CPU 1 if it is still overloaded. CPU 1 will clear the
- * rq->rt.push_flags if RT_PUSH_IPI_RESTART is not set.
- *
- * The first CPU to notice IPI_RESTART is set, will clear that flag and then
- * send an IPI to the next overloaded CPU after the rq->cpu and not the next
- * CPU after push_cpu. That is, if CPU 1, 4 and 5 are overloaded when CPU 3
- * schedules a lower priority task, and the IPI_RESTART gets set while the
- * handling is being done on CPU 5, it will clear the flag and send it back to
- * CPU 4 instead of CPU 1.
- *
- * Note, the above logic can be disabled by turning off the sched_feature
- * RT_PUSH_IPI. Then the rq lock of the overloaded CPU will simply be
- * taken by the CPU requesting a pull and the waiting RT task will be pulled
- * by that CPU. This may be fine for machines with few CPUs.
