Hi When the cgroup is throttled, all tasks (threads) within the cgroup are simultaneously prevented from running. The `throttled_time` counter starts incrementing when the cgroup as a whole enters the throttled state and stops when the cgroup is no longer throttled. Quote: "throttled_time: The total time duration (in nanoseconds) for which entities of the group have been throttled." https://docs.kernel.org/scheduler/sched-bwc.html#:~:text=throttled_time The source: void unthrottle_cfs_rq(struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq) { ... cfs_b->throttled_time += rq_clock(rq) - cfs_rq->throttled_clock; ... static int cpu_extra_stat_show(struct seq_file *sf, struct cgroup_subsys_state *css) { struct task_group *tg = css_tg(css); struct cfs_bandwidth *cfs_b = &tg->cfs_bandwidth; ... throttled_usec = cfs_b->throttled_time; Costa Thanks _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
