[PATCH 2/2] sched/rt: update limit of sched_rt sysctl in documentation
From: Shrikanth Hegde
Date: Thu Mar 06 2025 - 00:30:59 EST
By default fair_server dl_server allocates 5% of the bandwidth to the root
domain. Due to this writing any value less than 5% fails due to -EBUSY.
cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_period_us
1000000
$ echo 49999 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
-bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
$ echo 50000 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
$
Since the sched_rt_runtime_us allows -1 as the minimum, put this
restriction in the documentation.
One should check average of runtime/period in
/sys/kernel/debug/sched/fair_server/cpuX/* for exact value.
