It certainly mislead me to thinking about the sched_setattr calls as requests of utilization being in the given interval (substituting 0 or 1 when only one boundary is given, and further constrained by tg's interval). I see your point, those are actually two (mostly) independent controls. Makes sense now. Thanks, Michal

You right for the cpuset case, but I don't think we never end up with a "empty" set in the case of utilization clamping. We limit clamps hierarchically in such a way that: clamp[clamp_id] = min(task::clamp[clamp_id], tg::clamp[clamp_id], system::clamp[clamp_id]) and we ensure, on top of the above that: clamp[UCLAMP_MIN] = min(clamp[UCLAMP_MIN], clamp[UCLAMP_MAX]) Since it's all and only about "capping" values, at the very extreme case you can end up with: clamp[UCLAMP_MIN] = clamp[UCLAMP_MAX] = 0 but that's till a valid configuration. Am I missing something? Otherwise, I think the changelog sentence you quoted is just misleading. I'll remove it from v12 since it does not really clarify anything more then the rest of the message.

If I am not mistaken when set_schedaffinity(2) call is made that results in an empty cpuset, the call fails with EINVAL [1]. If I track the code correctly, the values passed to sched_setattr(2) are checked against the trivial validity (umin <= umax) and later on, they are adjusted to match the effective clamping of the containing task_group. Is that correct? If the user attempted to sched_setattr [a, b], and the effective uclamp was [c, d] such that [a, b] ∩ [c, d] = ∅, the set uclamp will be silently moved out of their intended range. Wouldn't it be better to return with EINVAL too when the intersection is empty (since the user supplied range won't be attained)?

[PATCH v11 4/5] sched/core: uclamp: Use TG's clamps to restrict TASK's clamps
When a task specific clamp value is configured via sched_setattr(2), this
value is accounted in the corresponding clamp bucket every time the task is
{en,de}qeued. However, when cgroups are also in use, the task specific
clamp values could be restricted by the task_group (TG) clamp values.
Update uclamp_cpu_inc() to aggregate task and TG clamp values. Every time a
task is enqueued, it's accounted in the clamp bucket tracking the smaller
clamp between the task specific value and its TG effective value. This
allows to:
1. ensure cgroup clamps are always used to restrict task specific requests,
i.e. boosted not more than its TG effective protection and capped at
least as its TG effective limit.
2. implement a "nice-like" policy, where tasks are still allowed to request
less than what enforced by their TG effective limits and protections
This mimics what already happens for a task's CPU affinity mask when the
task is also in a cpuset, i.e. cgroup attributes are always used to
restrict per-task attributes.
Do this by exploiting the concept of "effective" clamp, which is already
used by a TG to track parent enforced restrictions.
Apply task group clamp restrictions only to tasks belonging to a child
group. While, for tasks in the root group or in an autogroup, only system
defaults are enforced.
