[ Upstream commit 5ac69d37784b237707a7b15d199cdb6c6fdb6780 ]
Currently, the replenishment timer is set to fire at the deadline
of a task. Although that works for implicit deadline tasks because the
deadline is equals to the begin of the next period, that is not correct
for constrained deadline tasks (deadline < period).
For instance:
f.c:
--------------- %< ---------------
int main (void)
{
for(;;);
}
--------------- >% ---------------
# gcc -o f f.c
# trace-cmd record -e sched:sched_switch \
-e syscalls:sys_exit_sched_setattr \
chrt -d --sched-runtime 490000000 \
--sched-deadline 500000000 \
--sched-period 1000000000 0 ./f
# trace-cmd report | grep "{pid of ./f}"
After setting parameters, the task is replenished and continue running
until being throttled:
f-11295 [003] 13322.113776: sys_exit_sched_setattr: 0x0
The task is throttled after running 492318 ms, as expected:
f-11295 [003] 13322.606094: sched_switch: f:11295 [-1] R ==> watchdog/3:32 [0]
But then, the task is replenished 500719 ms after the first
replenishment:
<idle>-0 [003] 13322.614495: sched_switch: swapper/3:0 [120] R ==> f:11295 [-1]
Running for 490277 ms:
f-11295 [003] 13323.104772: sched_switch: f:11295 [-1] R ==> swapper/3:0 [120]
Hence, in the first period, the task runs 2 * runtime, and that is a bug.
During the first replenishment, the next deadline is set one period away.
So the runtime / period starts to be respected. However, as the second
replenishment took place in the wrong instant, the next replenishment
will also be held in a wrong instant of time. Rather than occurring in
the nth period away from the first activation, it is taking place
in the (nth period - relative deadline).
