This situation on exiting NO_HZ is described by: this_rq->calc_load_update < jiffies < calc_load_update In this scenario, what we should be doing is: this_rq->calc_load_update = calc_load_update [ next window ] But what we actually do is: this_rq->calc_load_update = calc_load_update + LOAD_FREQ [ next+1 window ] This has the effect of delaying load average updates for potentially up to ~9seconds. This can result in huge spikes in the load average values due to per-cpu uninterruptible task counts being out of sync when accumulated across all CPUs. It's safe to update the per-cpu active count if we wake between sample windows because any load that we left in 'calc_load_idle' will have been zero'd when the idle load was folded in calc_global_load(). This issue is easy to reproduce before, commit 9d89c257dfb9 ("sched/fair: Rewrite runnable load and utilization average tracking") just by forking short-lived process pipelines built from ps(1) and grep(1) in a loop. I'm unable to reproduce the spikes after that commit, but the bug still seems to be present from code review.

Although that works for implicit deadline tasks because the deadline is equals to the begin of the next period, that is not correct for constrained deadline tasks (deadline < period). For instance: f.c: --------------- %< --------------- int main (void) { for(;;); } --------------- >% --------------- # gcc -o f f.c # trace-cmd record -e sched:sched_switch \ -e syscalls:sys_exit_sched_setattr \ chrt -d --sched-runtime 490000000 \ --sched-deadline 500000000 \ --sched-period 1000000000 0 ./f # trace-cmd report | grep "{pid of ./f}" After setting parameters, the task is replenished and continue running until being throttled: f-11295 [003] 13322.113776: sys_exit_sched_setattr: 0x0 The task is throttled after running 492318 ms, as expected: f-11295 [003] 13322.606094: sched_switch: f:11295 [-1] R ==> watchdog/3:32 [0] But then, the task is replenished 500719 ms after the first replenishment: -0 [003] 13322.614495: sched_switch: swapper/3:0 [120] R ==> f:11295 [-1] Running for 490277 ms: f-11295 [003] 13323.104772: sched_switch: f:11295 [-1] R ==> swapper/3:0 [120] Hence, in the first period, the task runs 2 * runtime, and that is a bug. During the first replenishment, the next deadline is set one period away. So the runtime / period starts to be respected. However, as the second replenishment took place in the wrong instant, the next replenishment will also be held in a wrong instant of time. Rather than occurring in the nth period away from the first activation, it is taking place in the (nth period - relative deadline).

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.
