[PATCH v5 0/1] sched/fair: Fix low cpu usage with high throttling by removing expiration of cpu-local slices
From: Dave Chiluk
Date: Thu Jun 27 2019 - 15:49:41 EST
Changelog v5
- Based on this comment from Ben Segall's comment on v4
> If the cost of taking this global lock across all cpus without a
> ratelimit was somehow not a problem, I'd much prefer to just set
> min_cfs_rq_runtime = 0. (Assuming it is, I definitely prefer the "lie
> and sorta have 2x period 2x runtime" solution of removing expiration)
