[PATCH v10 13/16] sched/core: uclamp: Propagate parent clamps

Patrick Bellasi
2019-06-21T08:43:13Z

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 is the actual clamp value enforced on tasks in a
task group.

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

Changes in v10:
Message-ID: <https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190603122422.GA19426@darkstar/>
- rename cgroup attributes to be cpu.uclamp.{min,max}
Message-ID: <https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190605152754.GO374014@devbig004.ftw2.facebook.com/>
- use a percentage rational numbers for clamp attributes
