I was testing Daniel's changes with his test case, and tweaked it a little. Instead of having the runtime equal to the deadline, I increased the deadline ten fold. Daniel's test case had: attr.sched_runtime = 2 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 ms */ attr.sched_deadline = 2 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 ms */ attr.sched_period = 2 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 s */ To make it more interesting, I changed it to: attr.sched_runtime = 2 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 ms */ attr.sched_deadline = 20 * 1000 * 1000; /* 20 ms */ attr.sched_period = 2 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000; /* 2 s */ The results were rather surprising. The behavior that Daniel's patch was fixing came back. The task started using much more than .1% of the CPU. More like 20%. Looking into this I found that it was due to the dl_entity_overflow() constantly returning true. That's because it uses the relative period against relative runtime vs the absolute deadline against absolute runtime. runtime / (deadline - t) > dl_runtime / dl_period There's even a comment mentioning this, and saying that when relative deadline equals relative period, that the equation is the same as using deadline instead of period. That comment is backwards! What we really want is: runtime / (deadline - t) > dl_runtime / dl_deadline We care about if the runtime can make its deadline, not its period. And then we can say "when the deadline equals the period, the equation is the same as using dl_period instead of dl_deadline". After correcting this, now when the task gets enqueued, it can throttle correctly, and Daniel's fix to the throttling of sleeping deadline tasks works even when the runtime and deadline are not the same.
