Subject: [Patch v2] sched/fair: make CFS bandwidth slice per cpu group
We saw tasks in a CPU cgroup got throttled for many times even
when they don't apparently over-burn the CPU's. I tried to trace
the cause and noticed that one of the problems here is that the
local CPU which got the last chunk of quota doesn't use all of
them and prevents other CPUs to reuse the unused CPU time. So
reducing sched_cfs_bandwidth_slice_us from the default 5ms to 1ms
mostly solves the problem, at least no tasks got throttled after
this change in my test case.
However, the sched_cfs_bandwidth_slice_us is a global setting which
affects all cgroups. Different cgroups may want different values based
on their own workload, 5ms or 1ms is not suitable for all the cgroups.
A smaller slice distributes CPU time more fairly at a cost of slightly
higher overhead. We have to minimize the impact of the slice change.
On the other hand, the global pool filled periodically is per cgroup,
each cgroup should have the right to distribute its own quota to the
local CPUs with its own preferred frequency.
This patch intrdouces cpu.cfs_slice_us which allows each cgroup to
specify its own slice length without any global impact. And the
global sysctl sched_cfs_bandwidth_slice_us now becomes the default
value of each cpu.cfs_slice_us. Note, updating this sysctl does not
automatically update existing cgroups using a default value, users
will have to update each existing cgroup accordingly to make a global
change.

Any updates to a group's bandwidth specification will result in it becoming
unthrottled if it is in a constrained state.
-System wide settings
+Slice
--------------------
For efficiency run-time is transferred between the global pool and CPU local
"silos" in a batch fashion. This greatly reduces global accounting pressure
on large systems. The amount transferred each time such an update is required
is described as the "slice".
-This is tunable via procfs:
- /proc/sys/kernel/sched_cfs_bandwidth_slice_us (default=5ms)
-
Larger slice values will reduce transfer overheads, while smaller values allow
for more fine-grained consumption.
+The per-group file cpu.cfs_slice_us controls the slice length within each CPU
+group, different groups could set different values for their own preference.
+Its default value is tunable via procfs:
+
+ /proc/sys/kernel/sched_cfs_bandwidth_slice_us (default=5ms)
+
+Note, updating this file does not automatically update existing groups using
+a default slice.

Statistics
----------
A group's bandwidth statistics are exported via 3 fields in cpu.stat.
