sched: reintroduce the sched_min_granularity tunable
we lost the sched_min_granularity tunable to a clever optimization that uses the sched_latency/min_granularity ratio - but the ratio is quite unintuitive to users and can also crash the kernel if the ratio is set to 0. So reintroduce the min_granularity tunable, while keeping the ratio maintained internally. no functionality changed. [ mingo@elte.hu: some fixlets. ] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
