My bad. It was fatal typo, thanks for pointing it out. It made a big difference
in the idle time reported. After correcting to $shares, now the CPU idle time
reported is 20% to 22%. Which is 10% less from the previous reported number.

There have been questions on how to interpret the results. Consider the
following test run without pinning of the cgroups tasks
Average CPU Idle percentage 20%
Bandwidth shared with remaining non-Idle 80%
Bandwidth of Group 1 = 7.9700% i.e = 6.3700% of non-Idle CPU time 80%
|...... subgroup 1/1 = 50.0200 i.e = 3.1800% of 6.3700% Groups non-Idle CPU time
|...... subgroup 1/2 = 49.9700 i.e = 3.1800% of 6.3700% Groups non-Idle CPU time
For example let consider the cgroup1 and sum_exec time is the 7 field
captured from the /proc/sched_debug
while1 27273 30665.912793 1988 120 30665.912793 30909.566767 0.021951 /1/2
while1 27272 30511.105690 1995 120 30511.105690 30942.998099 0.017369 /1/1
-----------------
61852.564866
-----------------
- The bandwidth for sub-cgroup1 of cgroup1 is calculated = (30909.566767 * 100) / 61852.564866
= ~50%
and sub-cgroup2 of cgroup1 is calculated = (30942.998099 * 100) / 61852.564866
= ~50%
In the similar way If we add up the sum_exec of all the groups its
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Group1 Group2 Group3 Group4 Group5 sum_exec
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
61852.564866 + 61686.604930 + 122840.294858 + 232576.303937 +296166.889155 = 775122.657746
again taking the example of cgroup1
Total percentage of bandwidth allocated to cgroup1 = (61852.564866 * 100) / 775122.657746
= ~ 7.9% of total bandwidth of all the cgroups
Calculating the non-idle time is done with
Total (execution time * 100) / (no of cpus * 60000 ms) [script is run for a 60 seconds]
i.e. = (775122.657746 * 100) / (16 * 60000)
= ~80% of non-idle time
Percentage of bandwidth allocated to cgroup1 of the non-idle is derived as
= (cgroup bandwith percentage * non-idle time) / 100
= for cgroup1 = (7.9700 * 80) / 100
= 6.376% bandwidth allocated of non-Idle CPU time.
Bandwidth of Group 2 = 7.9500% i.e = 6.3600% of non-Idle CPU time 80%
|...... subgroup 2/1 = 49.9900 i.e = 3.1700% of 6.3600% Groups non-Idle CPU time
