A controller cannot live in isolation. *Somebody* needs to tell it about
events like new-task-group creation, destruction of existing group,
assignment of bandwidth and finally movement of tasks between task-groups.
We also need *some* interface for grouping tasks and assigning bandwidth
to the task-groups.
cpusets is chosen as this interface for now.
===============================================================================
DISCLAIMER:
- This by no means is any recommendation for cpuset to be chosen as
resource management interface!
- CPUset interface is chosen for now, because it represents a
task-grouping mechanism which is already in mainline and hence
makes the review of rest of scheduler changes easy.
- The CPU controller can be easily hooked to some other interface
like Resource Groups or User-bean-counter, should that be decided
down the lane.
===============================================================================
This patch makes some extension to cpusets as below:
- Every cpuset directory has two new files:
cpu_meter_enabled, cpu_meter_quota
- Writing '1' into 'cpu_meter_enabled' marks the cpuset as "metered" i.e
tasks in this cpuset and its child cpusets will have their CPU
usage controlled by the controller as per the quota settings
mentioned in 'cpu_meter_quota'.
- Writing a number between 0-100 into 'cpu_meter_quota' file of a
metered cpuset assigns corresponding bandwidth for all tasks in the
cpuset (task-group).
- Only cpusets marked as "exclusive" can be metered.
- cpusets that have child cpusets cannot be metered.
- (Temporary limitation:) cpusets which are "in-use" (i.e tasks are
attached to it) cannot be metered
- Metered cpusets cannot have grand-children!
Metered cpusets was discussed elaborately at:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/9/26/58
This patch was inspired from those discussions and is a subset of the features
provided in the earlier patch.
As an example, follow these steps to create metered cpusets:
# alias echo="/bin/echo"
# cd /dev
# mkdir cpuset
# mount -t cpuset cpuset cpuset
# cd cpuset
# echo 1 > cpu_exclusive
# mkdir all
# cd all
# echo "0-N" > cpus # Assign all CPUs to the cpuset.
# (replace N with number of cpus in system)
# echo 0 > mems # assign node 0
# echo 1 > cpu_exclusive
# echo 1 > cpu_meter_enabled # "all" is now a "metered" cpuset
# # Because parent is marked 'cpu_meter_enabled',
# # mkdir below automatically copied 'cpus', 'mems' and
# # 'cpu_meter_enabled' from the parent to the new child.
# mkdir default
# mkdir very_imp_grp
# mkdir less_imp_grp
# # Assign 10% bandwidth to default group
# echo 10 > default/cpu_meter_quota
# # Assign 70% bandwidth to very_imp_grp
# echo 70 > very_imp_grp/cpu_meter_quota
# # Assign 20% bandwidth to less_imp_grp
# echo 20 > less_imp_grp/cpu_meter_quota
# # Now transfer all existing tasks in system to default cpuset
# sed -nu p < /dev/cpuset/tasks > /dev/cpuset/all/default/tasks
# # After the above step, 'cat /dev/cpuset/tasks' should output
# # nothing. Otherwise, repeat the sed command, until cat displays
# # nothing.
# echo $very_imp_task1_pid > very_imp_grp/tasks
# echo $very_imp_task2_pid > very_imp_grp/tasks
# echo $less_imp_task1_pid > less_imp_grp/tasks
# echo $less_imp_task2_pid > less_imp_grp/tasks
