Hi,
v1 of the RFC set implementing frequency/cpu invariance and OPP selection for
SCHED_DEADLINE [1]. The set is based on tip/sched/core as of today
(72298e5c92c5), which now already includes Luca's "CPU reclaiming for
SCHED_DEADLINE".
Thanks a lot for reviewing RFCv0!
Patches high level description:
o [01-02]/08 add the necessary links to start accounting DEADLINE contribution
to OPP selection
o 03/08 it's a temporary solution to make possible (on ARM) to change
frequency for DEADLINE tasks (that would possibly delay the
SCHED_FIFO
worker kthread); proper solution would be to be able to issue
frequency
transition from an atomic ctx
o [04-05]/08 it's a schedutil change that copes with the fact that DEADLINE
doesn't require periodic OPP selection triggering point
o [06-07]/08 make arch_scale_{freq,cpu}_capacity() function available on
!CONFIG_SMP
configurations too
o 08/08 implements frequency/cpu invariance for tasks' reservation
parameters; which basically means that we implement GRUB-PA [2]
Changes w.r.t. RFCv0:
- rebase on tip/sched/core
- make use of BW_SHIFT for calculations (Peter)
- added a comment about guaranteed/requested frequency (Peter)
- use a high bit for sched_flags SCHED_FLAG_SPECIAL hack; don't expose it to
userspace and add comments (Peter)
- refactor aggregation of utilization from scheduling classes
Please have a look. Feedback and comments are, as usual, more than welcome.
