Subject: [PATCH] sched/Documentation: Add RT_RUNTIME_SHARE documentation
Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2024 20:32:38 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240131123238.2332064-1-zhangqiao22@huawei.com> (raw)

RT_RUNTIME_SHARE is an important strategy for rt bandwidth, and
we should document this sched feature.

+2.4 RT_RUNTIME_SHARE sched feature
+----------------------------
+
+RT_RUNTIME_SHARE allows a cpu borrows rt-runtime from other cpus if it runs
+out of its own rt-runtime.
+
+With this feature enabled, a rt-task probably hits 100% cpu usage and starves
+per-cpu tasks like kworkers, as a result, it may hang up the whole system.
+Therefore, in order to avoid such exception, recommand to disable this feature
+by default unless you really know what you're up to.
