Just a note: if you want to recover arbitrary task affinities, you can re-cast
your above test like this:
for_each_processor(cpu)
\sum U[t]/A[t] \leq 1 (or U_max), for each task t on cpu, with utilization
U[t] and A[t] tasks overall in its affinity mask
Do I read it correct when I interpret A[t] as the number of CPUs in its
affinity mask?
yes, exactly, A[t] number of CPUs in the task affinity mask (sorry for my bad
write-up)
Also, does recoverable mean a bound tardiness, or is that something
weaker still?
nope, nothing exact -- it just meant providing flexible but simple & consistent
(ie, towards recovering affinity masks) options from the kernel/scheduler side, leaving
more complex & exact tests to user-space, or future add-ons to the kernel.
Thanks,
