The reason why we are getting better wakeup latencies for
!FAIR_USER_SCHED is because of this snippet of code in place_entity():
if (!initial) {
/* sleeps upto a single latency don't count. */
if (sched_feat(NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS) && entity_is_task(se))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
vruntime -= sysctl_sched_latency;
/* ensure we never gain time by being placed backwards. */
vruntime = max_vruntime(se->vruntime, vruntime);
}
NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS feature gives credit for sleeping only to tasks and
not group-level entities. With the patch attached, I could see that
wakeup latencies with FAIR_USER_SCHED are restored to the same level as
!FAIR_USER_SCHED.
