Subject: [PATCH 2/2] sched/rt: update limit of sched_rt sysctl in documentation
Date: Thu,  6 Mar 2025 10:59:54 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250306052954.452005-3-sshegde@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250306052954.452005-1-sshegde@linux.ibm.com>

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.
