After committing the scheduler to EEVDF, we renamed the 'min_granularity_ns' sysctl to 'base_slice_ns': e4ec3318 ("sched/debug: Rename sysctl_sched_min_granularity to sysctl_sched_base_slice") ... but we forgot to rename it in the documentation. Do that now.

Mike and others noticed that EEVDF does like to over-schedule quite a bit -- which does hurt performance of a number of benchmarks / workloads. In particular, what seems to cause over-scheduling is that when lag is of the same order (or larger) than the request / slice then placement will not only cause the task to be placed left of current, but also with a smaller deadline than current, which causes immediate preemption. [ notably, lag bounds are relative to HZ ] Mike suggested we stick to picking 'current' for as long as it's eligible to run, giving it uninterrupted runtime until it reaches parity with the pack. Augment Mike's suggestion by only allowing it to exhaust it's initial request.

There is a 10% rounding error in the intial value of the sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice with CONFIG_HZ_300=y. This was found with LTP test sched_rr_get_interval01: sched_rr_get_interval01.c:57: TPASS: sched_rr_get_interval() passed sched_rr_get_interval01.c:64: TPASS: Time quantum 0s 99999990ns sched_rr_get_interval01.c:72: TFAIL: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms != 100 got 90 sched_rr_get_interval01.c:57: TPASS: sched_rr_get_interval() passed sched_rr_get_interval01.c:64: TPASS: Time quantum 0s 99999990ns sched_rr_get_interval01.c:72: TFAIL: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms != 100 got 90 What this test does is to compare the return value from the sched_rr_get_interval() and the sched_rr_timeslice_ms sysctl file and fails if they do not match. The problem it found is the intial sysctl file value which was computed as: static int sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice = (MSEC_PER_SEC / HZ) * RR_TIMESLICE; which works fine as long as MSEC_PER_SEC is multiple of HZ, however it introduces 10% rounding error for CONFIG_HZ_300: (MSEC_PER_SEC / HZ) * (100 * HZ / 1000) (1000 / 300) * (100 * 300 / 1000) 3 * 30 = 90 This can be easily fixed by reversing the order of the multiplication and division. After this fix we get: (MSEC_PER_SEC * (100 * HZ / 1000)) / HZ (1000 * (100 * 300 / 1000)) / 300 (1000 * 30) / 300 = 100 Fixes: 975e155e ("sched/rt: Show the 'sched_rr_timeslice' SCHED_RR timeslice tuning knob in milliseconds") Signed-off-by: Cyril Hrubis <chrubis@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Tested-by: Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230802151906.25258-2-chrubis@suse.cz

CFS bandwidth limits and NOHZ full don't play well together. Tasks can easily run well past their quotas before a remote tick does accounting. This leads to long, multi-period stalls before such tasks can run again. Currently, when presented with these conflicting requirements the scheduler is favoring nohz_full and letting the tick be stopped. However, nohz tick stopping is already best-effort, there are a number of conditions that can prevent it, whereas cfs runtime bandwidth is expected to be enforced. Make the scheduler favor bandwidth over stopping the tick by setting TICK_DEP_BIT_SCHED when the only running task is a cfs task with runtime limit enabled. We use cfs_b->hierarchical_quota to determine if the task requires the tick. Add check in pick_next_task_fair() as well since that is where we have a handle on the task that is actually going to be running. Add check in sched_can_stop_tick() to cover some edge cases such as nr_running going from 2->1 and the 1 remains the running task.

In cgroupv2 cfs_b->hierarchical_quota is set to -1 for all task groups due to the previous fix simply taking the min. It should reflect a limit imposed at that level or by an ancestor. Even though cgroupv2 does not require child quota to be less than or equal to that of its ancestors the task group will still be constrained by such a quota so this should be shown here. Cgroupv1 continues to set this correctly. In both cases, add initialization when a new task group is created based on the current parent's value (or RUNTIME_INF in the case of root_task_group). Otherwise, the field is wrong until a quota is changed after creation and __cfs_schedulable() is called.

The flags of the child of a given scheduling domain are used to initialize the flags of its scheduling groups. When the child of a scheduling domain is degenerated, the flags of its local scheduling group need to be updated to align with the flags of its new child domain. The flag SD_SHARE_CPUCAPACITY was aligned in Commit bf2dc42d ("sched/topology: Propagate SMT flags when removing degenerate domain"). Further generalize this alignment so other flags can be used later, such as in cluster-based task wakeup.

There is no need to use runnable_avg when estimating util_est and that even generates wrong behavior because one includes blocked tasks whereas the other one doesn't. This can lead to accounting twice the waking task p, once with the blocked runnable_avg and another one when adding its util_est. cpu's runnable_avg is already used when computing util_avg which is then compared with util_est. In some situation, feec will not select prev_cpu but another one on the same performance domain because of higher max_util Fixes: 7d0583cf ("sched/fair, cpufreq: Introduce 'runnable boosting'") Signed-off-by: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Dietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggemann@arm.com> Tested-by: Dietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggemann@arm.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230706135144.324311-1-vincent.guittot@linaro.org

Removes the FAIR_SLEEPERS code in favour of the new LAG based placement. Specifically, the whole FAIR_SLEEPER thing was a very crude approximation to make up for the lack of lag based placement, specifically the 'service owed' part. This is important for things like 'starve' and 'hackbench'. One side effect of FAIR_SLEEPER is that it caused 'small' unfairness, specifically, by always ignoring up-to 'thresh' sleeptime it would have a 50%/50% time distribution for a 50% sleeper vs a 100% runner, while strictly speaking this should (of course) result in a 33%/67% split (as CFS will also do if the sleep period exceeds 'thresh').

Where CFS is currently a WFQ based scheduler with only a single knob, the weight. The addition of a second, latency oriented parameter, makes something like WF2Q or EEVDF based a much better fit. Specifically, EEVDF does EDF like scheduling in the left half of the tree -- those entities that are owed service. Except because this is a virtual time scheduler, the deadlines are in virtual time as well, which is what allows over-subscription. EEVDF has two parameters: - weight, or time-slope: which is mapped to nice just as before - request size, or slice length: which is used to compute the virtual deadline as: vd_i = ve_i + r_i/w_i Basically, by setting a smaller slice, the deadline will be earlier and the task will be more eligible and ran earlier. Tick driven preemption is driven by request/slice completion; while wakeup preemption is driven by the deadline. Because the tree is now effectively an interval tree, and the selection is no longer 'leftmost', over-scheduling is less of a problem.

In order to move to an eligibility based scheduling policy, we need to have a better approximation of the ideal scheduler. Specifically, for a virtual time weighted fair queueing based scheduler the ideal scheduler will be the weighted average of the individual virtual runtimes (math in the comment). As such, compute the weighted average to approximate the ideal scheduler -- note that the approximation is in the individual task behaviour, which isn't strictly conformant. Specifically consider adding a task with a vruntime left of center, in this case the average will move backwards in time -- something the ideal scheduler would of course never do.
