Subject: [PATCH 2/2] cgroup, docs: Document interaction of RT processes with cpu controller
Date: Wed, 05 Mar 2025 13:12:44 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250305-rt-and-cpu-controller-doc-v1-2-7b6a6f5ff43d@sony.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250305-rt-and-cpu-controller-doc-v1-0-7b6a6f5ff43d@sony.com>

From: Shashank Balaji <shashank.mahadasyam@sony.com>

If the cpu controller is enabled in a CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED
disabled setting, cpu.stat and cpu.pressure account for realtime
processes, and cpu.uclamp.{min, max} affect realtime processes as well.
None of the other interface files are affected by or affect realtime
processes.
