Hello.

(I'm replying now as I installed v6.12 and this message has the
context.)

The global_rt_runtime() also applies to deadline class when CPU's DL
bandwidth is init'd in init_dl_rq_bw_ratio().

The default DL bandwidth is thus is 95%. The fair server is given 5%.
Is that 5% of those 95%?

Or is it meant to be complementary? (Perhaps not as I can configure
rt_runtime_us/rt_period_us > 95% without an error. But then I don't
understand what the global rt_runtime_us (w/out CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED)
configures.)

Thanks for some hints,
Michal
