The default compile of the sedf scheduler is not optimised for latency
(but the standard setting might work well...).
You can do a couple of things:
-set the period of dom0 to roughly your latency (better half of it)
and scale your slice accordingly
(e.g. 2ms period, 0.3ms slice...)
-or edit xen/common/schedule_sedf.c and change
#define UNBLOCK UNBLOCK_EXTRA_SUPPORT
to
#define UNBLOCK UNBLOCK_ATROPOS
and then set the appropriate latancy value in xm sedf (this does
exactly the same thing internaly
Could you please try the second one and see how that works? If it works
well, I might change the default behaviour, so that the latency aware
scheduler gets enabled for a domain if it uses the latency parameter!
Cheers,
Stephan
