[PATCH 11/12] sched/deadline: Rebuild the root domains' accounting without cpusets too
From: Mathieu Desnoyers
Date: Wed Nov 04 2026 - 10:19:56 EST
A change of the root domains, which CPU hotplug and suspend and resume
make, clears their deadline bandwidth accounting and fills it back: the
servers of each CPU, and the bandwidth of the deadline tasks of each
cpuset. The walk that puts the tasks back lives in the cpuset code,
dl_rebuild_rd_accounting(), and is a stub without CONFIG_CPUSETS: such
a kernel loses the bandwidth of every deadline task at the first
hotplug, total_bw of the new root domain holding its servers alone.
The tasks are never told. Each still takes its bandwidth out of
total_bw once it leaves SCHED_DEADLINE, or dies: it underflows, and
admission afterwards refuses every deadline task of the root domain.
Walk the tasks instead of the cpusets, which is all there is without
them, and keep one declaration beside dl_clear_root_domains() for both.
In 8-CPU VMs built without CONFIG_CPUSETS, the hotplug_sleepers case of
the selftest added later in this series admits 9 tasks of 10ms every
100ms before taking a CPU offline and back, and 0 after, on v7.4-rc1 as
with the patches before this one; hotplug_departed and
hotplug_server_refused fail after it, and two more hotplug cases skip
for want of room. The five pass with this change, in 4 VMs, with no
warning.
