The current sched rt code is broken when it comes to hierarchical scheduling, this patch fixes two problems 1. It adds redundant enqueuing (harmless) when it finds a queue has tasks enqueued, but it has no run time and it is not throttled. 2. The most important change is in sched_rt_rq_enqueue/dequeue. The code just picks the rt_rq belonging to the current cpu on which the period timer runs, the patch fixes it, so that the correct rt_se is enqueued/dequeued. Tested with a simple hierarchy /c/d, c and d assigned similar runtimes of 50,000 and a while 1 loop runs within "d". Both c and d get throttled, without the patch, the task just stops running and never runs (depends on where the sched_rt b/w timer runs). With the patch, the task is throttled and runs as expected.
