The following commit has been merged into the sched/urgent branch of tip: Commit-ID: b1536481c81fb604074da799e4f2d2038a1663f7 Gitweb: https://git.kernel.org/tip/b1536481c81fb604074da799e4f2d2038a1663f7 Author: Shrikanth Hegde <sshegde@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Thu, 06 Mar 2025 10:59:54 +05:30 Committer: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitterDate: Thu, 06 Mar 2025 10:21:31 +01:00 sched/rt: Update limit of sched_rt sysctl in documentation By default fair_server dl_server allocates 5% of the bandwidth to the root domain. Due to this writing any value less than 5% fails due to -EBUSY: $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_period_us 1000000 $ echo 49999 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us -bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy $ echo 50000 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us $ Since the sched_rt_runtime_us allows -1 as the minimum, put this restriction in the documentation. One should check average of runtime/period in /sys/kernel/debug/sched/fair_server/cpuX/* for exact value.
