Author: mav Date: Sat Oct 6 12:51:16 2012 New Revision: 241248 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/241248 Log: MFC r239157: Rework r220198 change (by fabient). I believe it solves the problem from the wrong direction. Before it, if preemption and end of time slice happen same time, thread was put to the head of the queue as for only preemption. It could cause single thread to run for indefinitely long time. r220198 handles it by not clearing TDF_NEEDRESCHED in case of preemption. But that causes delayed context switch every time preemption happens, even when not needed. Solve problem by introducing scheduler-specifoc thread flag TDF_SLICEEND, set when thread's time slice is over and it should be put to the tail of queue. Using SW_PREEMPT flag for that purpose as it was before just not enough informative to work correctly. On my tests this by 2-3 times reduces run time deviation (improves fairness) in cases when several threads share one CPU.
