Are you actually using HRTICK ?

yes, If HRTICK is close , then all of runtime and deadline will be wrong.

I think what peter meant is, do you use HRTICK in products or
just use it for testing/experiment?


Thanks for your timely comments. In fact, We use HRTICK feature in product.
We need microsecond level
precision.

Ah, thanks. Be advised that currently HRTICK is rather expensive. The
cost is twofold: 1) doing all the kernel side hrtimer things and 2)
programming clock hardware.

Of course, if that's what you need, you're willing to pay the price.

I'll see if I can put making it less expensive slightly higher on the
(endless) todo list.


another fold: 3) Frequent migration  :)
In fact, frequent migration lead to higher overload.  In our product  we 
design new migration solution.

The simple description is as follow:
1 Set affinity in user space program at the beginning
2 Migrate happen per 100ms
3 Free task (runtime < dl_runtime)is migrated to free cpu (rt task 
bandwidth < 65%) .

4 Busy task will run more time in a CPU by dynamic quota.
So the condition of migration depends on whether task is busy or idle or 
not instead of deadline at some point.

This could not meet EDF requirement but meet our product :)

yes, If HRTICK is close , then all of runtime and deadline will be wrong.

Some of runtime and deadline run with millisecond level by
reading kernershark.
The problem is caused by a conditional judgment "delta > 1".
Because no hrtimer start up to control the runtime when runtime is less than 
10us.
So the process will continue to run until tick-period coming.
For fixing this problem, Let delta is equal to 10us when it is less than 10us.
So the hrtimer will start up to control the end of process.

[PATCH] sched/rt: overrun could happen in start_hrtick_dl

2014-07-04 Thread xiaofeng.yan
It could be wrong for the precision of runtime and deadline
when the precision is within microsecond level. For example:
Task runtime deadline period
 P1   200us   500us   500us

This case need enbale HRTICK feature by the next command
PC#echo "HRTICK" > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
PC#./schedtool -E -t 20:50 -e ./test&
PC#trace-cmd record -e sched_switch

Some of runtime and deadline run with millisecond level by
reading kernershark.
The problem is caused by a conditional judgment "delta > 1".
Because no hrtimer start up to control the runtime when runtime is less than 
10us.
So the process will continue to run until tick-period coming.

[PATCH] sched/rt: overrun could happen in start_hrtick_dl

2014-07-04 Thread xiaofeng.yan
It could be wrong for the precision of runtime and deadline
when the precision is within microsecond level. For example:
Task runtime deadline period
 P1   200us   500us   500us

This case need enbale HRTICK feature by the next command
PC#echo HRTICK  /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
PC#./schedtool -E -t 20:50 -e ./test
PC#trace-cmd record -e sched_switch

Some of runtime and deadline run with millisecond level by
reading kernershark.
The problem is caused by a conditional judgment delta  1.
Because no hrtimer start up to control the runtime when runtime is less than 
10us.
So the process will continue to run until tick-period coming.
For fixing this problem, Let delta is equal to 10us when it is less than 10us.
So the hrtimer will start up to control the end of process.
