    sched: adaptive scheduler granularity · 21805085

    Instead of specifying the preemption granularity, specify the wanted
    latency. By fixing the granlarity to a constany the wakeup latency
    it a function of the number of running tasks on the rq.
    
    Invert this relation.
    
    sysctl_sched_granularity becomes a minimum for the dynamic granularity
    computed from the new sysctl_sched_latency.
    
    Then use this latency to do more intelligent granularity decisions: if
    there are fewer tasks running then we can schedule coarser. This helps
    performance while still always keeping the latency target.
