      sched/deadline: Remove the sysctl_sched_dl knobs · 1724813d
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Remove the deadline specific sysctls for now. The problem with them is
      that the interaction with the exisiting rt knobs is nearly impossible
      to get right.
      
      The current (as per before this patch) situation is that the rt and dl
      bandwidth is completely separate and we enforce rt+dl < 100%. This is
      undesirable because this means that the rt default of 95% leaves us
      hardly any room, even though dl tasks are saver than rt tasks.
      
      Another proposed solution was (a discarted patch) to have the dl
      bandwidth be a fraction of the rt bandwidth. This is highly
      confusing imo.
      
      Furthermore neither proposal is consistent with the situation we
      actually want; which is rt tasks ran from a dl server. In which case
      the rt bandwidth is a direct subset of dl.
      
      So whichever way we go, the introduction of dl controls at this point
      is painful. Therefore remove them and instead share the rt budget.
      
      This means that for now the rt knobs are used for dl admission control
      and the dl runtime is accounted against the rt runtime. I realise that
      this isn't entirely desirable either; but whatever we do we appear to
      need to change the interface later, so better have a small interface
      for now.

      sched/deadline: Add bandwidth management for SCHED_DEADLINE tasks · 332ac17e
      Dario Faggioli 提交于
      In order of deadline scheduling to be effective and useful, it is
      important that some method of having the allocation of the available
      CPU bandwidth to tasks and task groups under control.
      This is usually called "admission control" and if it is not performed
      at all, no guarantee can be given on the actual scheduling of the
      -deadline tasks.
      
      Since when RT-throttling has been introduced each task group have a
      bandwidth associated to itself, calculated as a certain amount of
      runtime over a period. Moreover, to make it possible to manipulate
      such bandwidth, readable/writable controls have been added to both
      procfs (for system wide settings) and cgroupfs (for per-group
      settings).
      
      Therefore, the same interface is being used for controlling the
      bandwidth distrubution to -deadline tasks and task groups, i.e.,
      new controls but with similar names, equivalent meaning and with
      the same usage paradigm are added.
      
      However, more discussion is needed in order to figure out how
      we want to manage SCHED_DEADLINE bandwidth at the task group level.
      Therefore, this patch adds a less sophisticated, but actually
      very sensible, mechanism to ensure that a certain utilization
      cap is not overcome per each root_domain (the single rq for !SMP
      configurations).
      
      Another main difference between deadline bandwidth management and
      RT-throttling is that -deadline tasks have bandwidth on their own
      (while -rt ones doesn't!), and thus we don't need an higher level
      throttling mechanism to enforce the desired bandwidth.
      
      This patch, therefore:
      
       - adds system wide deadline bandwidth management by means of:
          * /proc/sys/kernel/sched_dl_runtime_us,
          * /proc/sys/kernel/sched_dl_period_us,
         that determine (i.e., runtime / period) the total bandwidth
         available on each CPU of each root_domain for -deadline tasks;
      
       - couples the RT and deadline bandwidth management, i.e., enforces
         that the sum of how much bandwidth is being devoted to -rt
         -deadline tasks to stay below 100%.
      
      This means that, for a root_domain comprising M CPUs, -deadline tasks
      can be created until the sum of their bandwidths stay below:
      
          M * (sched_dl_runtime_us / sched_dl_period_us)
      
      It is also possible to disable this bandwidth management logic, and
      be thus free of oversubscribing the system up to any arbitrary level.
