Subject: [SEDF] Fix SEDF defaults to make domain0 take only a fair
X-Git-Tag: archive/raspbian/4.8.0-1+rpi1~1^2~15921^2~41
X-Git-Url: https://dgit.raspbian.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1d13b43fead19e1c0676fd07637f74a7e2a3ac06;p=xen.git

[SEDF] Fix SEDF defaults to make domain0 take only a fair
equally-weighted share of extratime. Also, hack the short-
blocking logic as otherwise domain0 steals all CPU time
for several seconds after waking from a long sleep.
