NO_RT_RUNTIME_SHARE feature is used to prevent a CPU borrow enough runtime with a spin-rt-task.
However, if RT_RUNTIME_SHARE feature is enabled and rt_rq has borrowd enough rt_runtime at the beginning, rt_runtime can't be restored to its initial bandwidth rt_runtime after we disable RT_RUNTIME_SHARE. E.g. on my PC with 4 cores, procedure to reproduce: 1) Make sure RT_RUNTIME_SHARE is enabled cat /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS START_DEBIT NO_NEXT_BUDDY LAST_BUDDY CACHE_HOT_BUDDY WAKEUP_PREEMPTION NO_HRTICK NO_DOUBLE_TICK LB_BIAS NONTASK_CAPACITY TTWU_QUEUE NO_SIS_AVG_CPU SIS_PROP NO_WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK RT_PUSH_IPI RT_RUNTIME_SHARE NO_LB_MIN ATTACH_AGE_LOAD WA_IDLE WA_WEIGHT WA_BIAS 2) Start a spin-rt-task ./loop_rr & 3) set affinity to the last cpu taskset -p 8 $pid_of_loop_rr 4) Observe that last cpu have borrowed enough runtime. cat /proc/sched_debug | grep rt_runtime .rt_runtime : 950.000000 .rt_runtime : 900.000000 .rt_runtime : 950.000000 .rt_runtime : 1000.000000 5) Disable RT_RUNTIME_SHARE echo NO_RT_RUNTIME_SHARE > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features 6) Observe that rt_runtime can not been restored cat /proc/sched_debug | grep rt_runtime .rt_runtime : 950.000000 .rt_runtime : 900.000000 .rt_runtime : 950.000000 .rt_runtime : 1000.000000 This patch help to restore rt_runtime after we disable RT_RUNTIME_SHARE.
