Dear Valentin,

In addition to the information in my previous response to Sebastian, I would
like to add the following point as a reason for my self-recommendation (to
explore my patch for solving the cgroup performance issue in RT-Linux):
RT-Linux is a system that places a high emphasis on real-time performance.
The fact that regular tasks are also included in cgroup groups and throttled
suggests that they are relatively low-priority tasks that are not expected to
interfere with high-priority tasks. Therefore, is it not a bit too late to
impose limits only after returning to user mode? Furthermore, when a throttled
task is awakened from S or D state, according to the logic of "imposing limits
after returning to user mode," it could cause that low-priority task to wake
up associated low-priority tasks one after another, leading to a sudden
increase in running time, which contradicts the relatively precise CPU usage
targets typically required in RT-Linux systems.
Additionally, I believe there are still many areas for improvement in my patch,
and I hope to bring it to the community to gather suggestions from experts to
see if there are areas for iterative improvement.


Thanks
Xin Zhao
