[PATCH v5 10/15] sched/cpufreq: uclamp: add utilization clamping for RT tasks
From: Patrick Bellasi
Date: Mon Oct 29 2018 - 14:34:06 EST
Currently schedutil enforces a maximum frequency when RT tasks are
RUNNABLE. Such a mandatory policy can be made more tunable from
userspace thus allowing for example to define a max frequency which is
still reasonable for the execution of a specific RT workload.
This will contribute to make the RT class more friendly for power/energy
sensitive use-cases.
This patch extends the usage of util_{min,max} to the RT scheduling
class. Whenever a task in this class is RUNNABLE, the util required is
defined by its task specific clamp value. However, we still want to run
at maximum capacity RT tasks which do not have task specific clamp
values.
Let's add uclamp_default_perf, a special set of clamp value to be used
for tasks that require maximum performance. This set of clamps are then
used whenever the above conditions matches for an RT task being enqueued
on a CPU.
Since utilization clamping applies now to both CFS and RT tasks, we
clamp the combined utilization of these two classes.
This approach, contrary to combining individually clamped utilizations,
is more power efficient. Indeed, it selects lower frequencies when we
have both RT and CFS clamped tasks.
However, it could also affect performance of the lower priority CFS
class, since the CFS's minimum utilization clamp could be completely
eclipsed by the RT workloads.
The IOWait boost value also is subject to clamping for RT tasks.
This is to ensure that RT tasks as well as CFS ones are always subject
to the set of current utilization clamping constraints.
