Re: [PATCH 1/2] sched/uclamp: Add a new sysctl to control RT default boost value

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I Qais,
I see we are converging toward the final shape. :)

Function wise code looks ok to me now.

Lemme just point out few more remarks and possible nit-picks.
I guess at the end it's up to you to decide if you wanna follow up with
a v6 and to the maintainers to decide how picky they wanna be.

Otherwise, FWIW, feel free to consider this a LGTM.

Best,
Patrick

I went back to v3 version, where this was done above:

   https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200429113255.GA19464@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
   Message-ID: 20200429113255.GA19464@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

and still I don't see why we want to keep it after this first check?

IMO it's just not required and it makes to code a tiny uglier.

nit-pick: the two comments above are stating the obvious.

same here: the comment is stating the obvious.

Maybe even just by using a different function name we better document
the code, e.g. uclamp_rt_restrict(p, clamp_id);

This will implicitly convey the purpose: RT tasks can be somehow
further restricted, i.e. in addition to the TG restriction following.
