I turn the thing off because it doesn't make any sense to me for -rt,
and because it's busted.  The below works around isolation bustage I
encountered.  Peter didn't like it (what's to like?) but it saves the
day, so shall live on in non-rt kernels until I hopefully someday see
RT_GROUP_SCHED being fed into a Bitwolf-9000 ;-)

sched,rt: fix isolated CPUs leaving root_task_group indefinitely throttled

Root task group bandwidth replentishment must service all CPUs regardless of
where it was last started.

[patch RT 3/7] Disable RT_GROUP_SCHED in PREEMPT_RT_FULL

2012-07-11 Thread Thomas Gleixner
Strange CPU stalls have been observed in RT when RT_GROUP_SCHED
was configured.

Disable it for now.
