[PATCH v4 08/16] sched/core: uclamp: propagate parent clamps

Patrick Bellasi
2018-08-28T13:55:59Z

In order to properly support hierarchical resources control, the cgroup
delegation model requires that attribute writes from a child group never
fail but still are (potentially) constrained based on parent's assigned
resources. This requires to properly propagate and aggregate parent
attributes down to its descendants.

Let's implement this mechanism by adding a new "effective" clamp value
for each task group. The effective clamp value is defined as the smaller
value between the clamp value of a group and the effective clamp value
of its parent. This represent also the clamp value which is actually
used to clamp tasks in each task group.

Since it can be interesting for tasks in a cgroup to know exactly what
is the currently propagated/enforced configuration, the effective clamp
values are exposed to user-space by means of a new pair of read-only
attributes: cpu.util.{min,max}.effective.
