Now cpu.uclamp.min acts as a protection, we need to make sure that the
uclamp request of the task is within the allowed range of the cgroup,
that is it is clamp()'ed correctly by tg->uclamp[UCLAMP_MIN] and
tg->uclamp[UCLAMP_MAX].
As reported by Xuewen [1] we can have some corner cases where there's
inversion between uclamp requested by task (p) and the uclamp values of
the taskgroup it's attached to (tg). Following table demonstrates
2 corner cases:
| p | tg | effective
-----------+-----+------+-----------
CASE 1
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_min | 60% | 0% | 60%
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_max | 80% | 50% | 50%
-----------+-----+------+-----------
CASE 2
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_min | 0% | 30% | 30%
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_max | 20% | 50% | 20%
-----------+-----+------+-----------
With this fix we get:
| p | tg | effective
-----------+-----+------+-----------
CASE 1
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_min | 60% | 0% | 50%
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_max | 80% | 50% | 50%
-----------+-----+------+-----------
CASE 2
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_min | 0% | 30% | 30%
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_max | 20% | 50% | 30%
-----------+-----+------+-----------
Additionally uclamp_update_active_tasks() must now unconditionally
update both UCLAMP_MIN/MAX because changing the tg's UCLAMP_MAX for
instance could have an impact on the effective UCLAMP_MIN of the tasks.
| p | tg | effective
-----------+-----+------+-----------
old
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_min | 60% | 0% | 50%
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_max | 80% | 50% | 50%
-----------+-----+------+-----------
*new*
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_min | 60% | 0% | *60%*
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_max | 80% |*70%* | *70%*
-----------+-----+------+-----------

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
