[ looks good? if so, I will send a v2 patch set including the ] [ RT_RUNTIME_GREED patch and this one. ] Currently, the option RT_RUNTIME_SHARE is enabled by default. This option enables the sharing of rt_runtime between CPUs, allowing a CPU to borrow rt_runtime from another CPU, permitting a real-time task to run 100% of the time on a single CPU. The problem is that this can lead to the starvation of a non-real-time task pinned to the CPU running the CPU bound RT workload. One example of non-real-time task pinned to a CPU are the kworkers. Often kworkers starve on this scenario, causing a system hang. This patch changes the default setup for RT THROTTLING, disabling the RT_RUNTIME_SHARE option while enabling the RT_RUNTIME_GREED option. In such configuration, real-time tasks will be able to run 100% of the time in the absence of non-real-time tasks starving in the local CPU.
