This patch hooks up cpu scheduler with Paul Menage's container
infrastructure.
The container patches allows administrator to create arbitrary groups of tasks
and define resource allocation for each group. By registering with container
infrastructure, cpu scheduler is made aware of group membership information for
each task, creation/deletion of groups etc and can use that information to
provide fairness between groups.
This mechanism can indirectly be used to provide fairness between users
also. All that is needed is a user-space program (which I am working on
and will post later) which monitors for PROC_EVENT_UID events (using
process event connector) and moves the task to appropriate user-directory in
container filesystem.
As an example for "HOWTO use this feature", follow these steps:
1. Define CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED (General Setup->Fair Group Scheduler)
and compile the kernel
2. After booting:
# cd /dev
# mkdir cpuctl
# mount -t container -ocpuctl none /dev/cpuctl
# cd cpuctl
# mkdir grpA
# mkdir grpB
# echo some_pid1 > grpA/tasks
# echo some_pid2 > grpA/tasks
# echo some_pid3 > grpA/tasks
# echo some_pid4 > grpA/tasks
...
# echo another_pidX > grpB/tasks
# echo another_pidY > grpB/tasks
All tasks in grpA/tasks should cumulatively share same CPU as all tasks
in grpB/tasks.
