Moreover, each instance typically lasts no more * than the runtime and must be completed by time instant t equal to * the instance activation time + the deadline. * * This is reflected by the following fields of the sched_attr structure: * * @sched_deadline representative of the task's deadline * @sched_runtime representative of the task's runtime * @sched_period representative of the task's period * * Given this task model, there are a multiplicity of scheduling algorithms * and policies, that can be used to ensure all the tasks will make their * timing constraints. * * As of now, the SCHED_DEADLINE policy (sched_dl scheduling class) is the * only user of this new interface. More information about the algorithm * available in the scheduling class file or in Documentation/. * * Task Utilization Attributes * =========================== * * A subset of sched_attr attributes allows to specify the utilization * expected for a task. These attributes allow to inform the scheduler about * the utilization boundaries within which it should schedule the task. These * boundaries are valuable hints to support scheduler decisions on both task * placement and frequency selection. * * @sched_util_min represents the minimum utilization * @sched_util_max represents the maximum utilization * * Utilization is a value in the range [0..SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE]. It * represents the percentage of CPU time used by a task when running at the * maximum frequency on the highest capacity CPU of the system. For example, a * 20% utilization task is a task running for 2ms every 10ms at maximum * frequency. * * A task with a min utilization value bigger than 0 is more likely scheduled * on a CPU with a capacity big enough to fit the specified value. * A task with a max utilization value smaller than 1024 is more likely * scheduled on a CPU with no more capacity than the specified value. * * A task utilization boundary can be reset by setting the attribute to -1. */ struct sched_attr { __u32 size; __u32 sched_policy; __u64 sched_flags; /* SCHED_NORMAL, SCHED_BATCH */ __s32 sched_nice; /* SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR */ __u32 sched_priority; /* SCHED_DEADLINE */ __u64 sched_runtime; __u64 sched_deadline; __u64 sched_period; /* Utilization hints */ __u32 sched_util_min; __u32 sched_util_max; }; #endif /* _UAPI_LINUX_SCHED_TYPES_H */
