Subject: [PATCH 01/12] sched: Reject SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_PARAMS before reserving deadline bandwidth
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2026 10:10:22 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <fc36341b93c2e994ccec71a5ab6d5c8e76b3d73c.1793804635.git.mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1793804635.git.mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
__sched_setscheduler() returns -EINVAL for a SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_PARAMS
request that would change scheduling class, after sched_dl_overflow()
has reserved the bandwidth of the request, and nothing gives it back.
Switching a SCHED_OTHER task to SCHED_DEADLINE that way fails and leaks
the runtime that sched_setattr() filled in from the task's slice, up to
100ms with a custom one, into the root domain's total_bw. Repeated, it
makes the root domain refuse every deadline task, and refuse to offline
its last CPU.
Reserve the bandwidth after that check, last of the checks. A refused
request also leaves sched_reset_on_fork as it was again.
Fixes: 8a70415351ba ("sched: Reject SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_PARAMS when it would change scheduling class")
