The system wide settings are configured under the /proc virtual file system.
For now the -rt knobs are used for -deadline admission control and the
-deadline runtime is accounted against the -rt runtime. We realize that this
isn't entirely desirable; however, it is better to have a small interface for
now, and be able to change it easily later. The ideal situation (see 5.) is to
run -rt tasks from a -deadline server; in which case the -rt bandwidth is a
direct subset of dl_bw.
For now the -rt knobs are used for -deadline admission control and with
CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED the -deadline runtime is accounted against the (root)
-rt runtime. With !CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED the knob only serves for the -dl
admission control. We realize that this isn't entirely desirable; however, it
is better to have a small interface for now, and be able to change it easily
later. The ideal situation (see 5.) is to run -rt tasks from a -deadline
server; in which case the -rt bandwidth is a direct subset of dl_bw.
This means that, for a root_domain comprising M CPUs, -deadline tasks
can be created while the sum of their bandwidths stays below:
