I've been trying to understand how the Completely Fair Scheduler in the Linux kernel does CPU bandwidth control.



After many readings, I still cannot wrap my head around how the CFS allows for each cgroup to define its own CFS period and how that ties in to the kernel.sched_cfs_bandwidth_slice_us sysctl setting.



Example A:
On a single CPU machine and there are two cgroups with different CFS periods defined. The quotas of each cgroup represent 50% of CPU time, totalling 100%.



cgroup-A: cpu.cfs_period_us=100ms
cpu.cfs_quota_us=50ms
cgroup-B: cpu.cfs_period_us=1000ms
cpu.cfs_quota_us=500ms


If each cgroup has a single process running, how are these processes scheduled given the CFS period (assuming both processes constantly require CPU time)?



Example B: What happens when cgroup-B have a higher quota than what's actually physically possible to fulfill, ie. cgroup-B set a 90% of the CPU time, and cgroup-A continues to set a quota to be 50% of the CPU time.



cgroup-A: cpu.cfs_period_us=100ms
cpu.cfs_quota_us=50ms
cgroup-B: cpu.cfs_period_us=1000ms
cpu.cfs_quota_us=900ms


How would CFS schedule the processes in this case when the quota is oversubscribed?



Thanks!

  • I think by typing this question out... I'm starting to gain some clarity. Correct me if I'm wrong here. If cfs_period and quota is merely used for accounting, where the period is a timer which periodically reset the usage in CPU time per cgroup - and where quota is used to compare with actual usage. Then only if the usage exceeds quota during the evaluation period, do the process get throttled and pre-empted. Does that sound sane?
