[PATCH v2 2/2] sched/deadline: Correctly account for allocated bandwidth during hotplug

From: Juri Lelli
Date: Thu Nov 14 2024 - 09:29:43 EST


For hotplug operations, DEADLINE needs to check that there is still enough
bandwidth left after removing the CPU that is going offline. We however
fail to do so currently.

Restore the correct behavior by restructuring dl_bw_manage() a bit, so
that overflow conditions (not enough bandwidth left) are properly
checked. Also account for dl_server bandwidth, i.e. discount such
bandwidth in the calculation since NORMAL tasks will be anyway moved
away from the CPU as a result of the hotplug operation.
