[patch 08/15] sched: throttle cfs_rq entities which exceed their local runtime

From: Paul Turner
Date: Sat May 07 2011 - 02:33:07 EST


In account_cfs_rq_runtime() (via update_curr()) we track consumption versus a
cfs_rqs locally assigned runtime and whether there is global runtime available
to provide a refill when it runs out.

In the case that there is no runtime remaining it's necessary to throttle so
that execution ceases until the susbequent period. While it is at this
boundary that we detect (and signal for, via reshed_task) that a throttle is
required, the actual operation is deferred until put_prev_entity().

At this point the cfs_rq is marked as throttled and not re-enqueued, this
avoids potential interactions with throttled runqueues in the event that we
are not immediately able to evict the running task.
