Subject: CFS Bandwidth Control - Test results of cgroups tasks pinned vs
 unpinned

Hi All,

    In our test environment, while testing the CFS Bandwidth V6 patch set 
on top of 55922c9d1b84. We observed that the CPU's idle time is seen
between 30% to 40% while running CPU bound test, with the cgroups tasks 
not pinned to the CPU's. Whereas in the inverse case, where the cgroups 
tasks are pinned to the CPU's, the idle time seen is nearly zero.

Test Scenario
--------------
- 5 cgroups are created with each groups assigned 2, 2, 4, 8, 16 tasks respectively.
- Each of the cgroup, has N sub-cgroups created. Where N is the NR_TASKS the cgroup 
  is assigned with. i.e., cgroup1, will create two sub-cgroups under it and assigned 
  one tasks per sub-group.
				------------
				| cgroup 1 |
				------------
				 /        \
				/          \
			  --------------  --------------
			  |sub-cgroup 1|  |sub-cgroup 2|
			  | (task 1)   |  | (task 2)   |
			  --------------  --------------

- Top cgroup is given unlimited quota (cpu.cfs_quota_us = -1) and period of 500ms
  (cpu.cfs_period_us = 500000). Whereas the sub-cgroups are given 250ms of quota
  (cpu.cfs_quota_us = 250000) and period of 500ms. i.e. the top cgroups are given
  unlimited bandwidth, whereas the sub-group are throttled every 250ms.

- Additional if required the proportional CPU shares can be assigned to cpu.shares 
  as NR_TASKS * 1024. i.e. cgroup1 has 2 tasks * 1024 = 2048 worth cpu.shares
  for cgroup1. (In the below test results published all cgroups and sub-cgroups
  are given the equal share of 1024).

- One CPU bound while(1) task is attached to each sub-cgroup.

- sum-exec time for each cgroup/sub-cgroup is captured from /proc/sched_debug after 
  60 seconds and analyzed for the run time of the tasks a.k.a sub-cgroup.

How is the idle CPU time measured ?
------------------------------------
- vmstat stats are logged every 2 seconds, after attaching the last while1 task 
  to 16th sub-cgroup of cgroup 5 till the 60 sec run is over. After the run idle%
  of a CPU is calculated by summing idle column from the vmstat log and dividing it 
  by number of samples collected, of-course after neglecting the first record 
  from the log.

How are the tasks pinned to the CPU ?
-------------------------------------
- cgroup is mounted with cpuset,cpu controller and for every 2 sub-cgroups one 
  physical CPU is allocated. i.e. CPU 1 is allocated between 1/1 and 1/2 (Group 1, 
  sub-cgroup 1 and sub-cgroup 2). Similarly CPUs 7 to 15 are allocated to 15/1 to 
  15/16 (Group 15, subgroup 1 to 16). Note that test machine used to test has
  16 CPUs.

Result for non-pining case
---------------------------
Only the hierarchy is created as stated above and cpusets are not assigned per cgroup.

Average CPU Idle percentage 34.8% (as explained above in the Idle time measured)
Bandwidth shared with remaining non-Idle 65.2%

* Note: For the sake of roundoff value the numbers are multiplied by 100.

In the below result for cgroup1 9.2500 corresponds to sum-exec time captured 
from /proc/sched_debug for cgroup 1 tasks (including sub-cgroup 1 and 2). 
Which is in-turn 6% of the non-Idle CPU time (which is derived by 9.2500 * 65.2 / 100 )

with equal cpu shares allocated to all the groups/sub-cgroups and CFS bandwidth configured
to allow 100% CPU utilization. We see the CPU idle time in the un-pinned case.

Benchmark used to reproduce the issue, is attached. Justing executing the script should
report similar numbers.
