Juri, sorry, I forgot to wrote I mean the situation when only one task is on_rq
at every moment.
DL, RT, DL, RT, ...
rt_runtime = n;
rt_period = 2n;
| DL's working, RT's sleeping | RT's working, DL's sleeping | all sleep
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| (1) duration = n | (2) duration = n | (3)
duration = n | (repeat)
|------------------------------|------------------------------|---------------------------|
| (rt_bw timer is not running) | (rt_bw timer is running)
|
According to the patch, rt_bw timer is working only if we have queued RT task.
In the case above part (1) has no queued RT tasks, so timer is not working.
rt_time is not being increased too.
We have ratio 2/3.
Thanks,
Kirill
