you can turn sleeper-fairness off via:
echo 28 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_features
another thing to try would be:
echo 12 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_features
(that's the new-task penalty turned off.)
Another thing to try would be to edit this:
if (sysctl_sched_features & SCHED_FEAT_START_DEBIT)
p->se.wait_runtime = -(sched_granularity(cfs_rq) / 2);
to:
if (sysctl_sched_features & SCHED_FEAT_START_DEBIT)
p->se.wait_runtime = -(sched_granularity(cfs_rq);
and could you also check 20.4 on 2.6.22.5 perhaps, or very latest -git?
(Peter has experienced smaller spikes with that.)
