Make output of RT throttling more verbose. Most of the time when a system is hit by RT throttling activation it is evident which task is running havoc. Sometimes, however, the culprit may be more difficult to detect. Add some more debug output to the RT throttling activation message for such cases. Test it: Generate an artificial block of an RT task using the blocksys driver # chrt -r 99 taskset -c 7 echo 4500000000 >/dev/blocksys Kernel messages # dmesg | tail -20 | grep -e blocksys -e sched blocksys: preemption and interrupts of CPU #7 will be blocked for 4500000000 nops sched: RT throttling activated cmd echo cpu 7 pid 4780 prio 99 us 1155825 flags 0x10000088 blocksys: preemption and interrupts of CPU #7 blocked for about 1311139 us Signed-off-by: Carsten Emde <C.Emde@xxxxxxxxx> --- kernel/sched/rt.c | 13 ++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) Index: linux-4.6.5-rt10/kernel/sched/rt.c =================================================================== --- linux-4.6.5-rt10.orig/kernel/sched/rt.c +++ linux-4.6.5-rt10/kernel/sched/rt.c @@ -899,7 +899,8 @@ static inline int rt_se_prio(struct sche return rt_task_of(rt_se)->prio; } -static int sched_rt_runtime_exceeded(struct rt_rq *rt_rq) +static int sched_rt_runtime_exceeded(struct rt_rq *rt_rq, + struct task_struct *curr, u64 delta_exec) { u64 runtime = sched_rt_runtime(rt_rq); @@ -923,7 +924,11 @@ static int sched_rt_runtime_exceeded(str */ if (likely(rt_b->rt_runtime)) { rt_rq->rt_throttled = 1; - printk_deferred_once("sched: RT throttling activated\n"); + printk_deferred("sched: RT throttling activated cmd %s " + "cpu %d pid %d prio %d us %llu flags 0x%08lx\n", + curr->comm, task_cpu(curr), task_pid_nr(curr), + MAX_RT_PRIO-1 - curr->prio, delta_exec >> 10, + (unsigned long) task_thread_info(curr)->flags); } else { /* * In case we did anyway, make it go away, @@ -983,7 +988,7 @@ static void update_curr_rt(struct rq *rq if (sched_rt_runtime(rt_rq) != RUNTIME_INF) { raw_spin_lock(&rt_rq->rt_runtime_lock); rt_rq->rt_time += delta_exec; - if (sched_rt_runtime_exceeded(rt_rq)) + if (sched_rt_runtime_exceeded(rt_rq, curr, delta_exec)) resched_curr(rq); raw_spin_unlock(&rt_rq->rt_runtime_lock); } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
