[PATCH v2 09/10] sched/ext: Relinquish DL server reservations when not needed
From: Joel Fernandes
Date: Mon Jun 02 2025 - 14:03:46 EST
I tested loading a test SCX program and verifying the bandwidth both
before and after applying the patch:
Without patch:
Before loading scx:
.dl_bw->total_bw : 1887408
After unloading scx:
.dl_bw->total_bw : 3774816
After patch:
Before loading scx:
.dl_bw->total_bw : 1887408
After unloading scx:
.dl_bw->total_bw : 1887408
