[PATCH] sched/deadline: Zero out positive runtime after throttling constrained tasks

[PATCH] sched/deadline: Zero out positive runtime after throttling constrained tasks

[Xunlei Pang]

When a contrained task is throttled by dl_check_constrained_dl(),
it may carry the remaining positive runtime, as a result when
dl_task_timer() fires and calls replenish_dl_entity(), it will
not be replenished correctly due to the positive dl_se->runtime.

This patch assigns its runtime to 0 if positive after throttling.

This makes sense to me, but should we have any accounting for runtime
that was missed due to wakeups and such?

It sounds a good idea, will try to add that to "/proc/<pid>/sched".

Looks like we should also catch and handle the deadline miss in dl_runtime_exceeded(),
I guess we can add the accounting together.

Hi all,

Thanks for all your valuable review!

FYI: I just sent v2 added two more patches.

Looks good to me. Although, we could alternatively add a flag and use
that in replenish_dl_entity() to reset runtime (as we do for dl_yielded).

Flags need refactoring, though.

Thanks,

sched/deadline: Zero out positive runtime after throttling constrained tasks

When a contrained task is throttled by dl_check_constrained_dl(),
it may carry the remaining positive runtime, as a result when
dl_task_timer() fires and calls replenish_dl_entity(), it will
not be replenished correctly due to the positive dl_se->runtime.

This patch assigns its runtime to 0 if positive after throttling.
