Fix an issue reported by test robot. 2. Rewriting docs. Appreciate any further suggestions or help. The CFS bandwidth controller limits CPU requests of a task group to quota during each period. However, parallel workloads might be bursty so that they get throttled. And they are latency sensitive at the same time so that throttling them is undesired. Scaling up period and quota allows greater burst capacity. But it might cause longer stuck till next refill. We introduce "burst" to allow accumulating unused quota from previous periods, and to be assigned when a task group requests more CPU than quota during a specific period. Thus allowing CPU time requests as long as the average requested CPU time is below quota on the long run. The maximum accumulation is capped by burst and is set 0 by default, thus the traditional behaviour remains. A huge drop of 99th tail latency from more than 500ms to 27ms is seen for real java workloads when using burst. Similar drops are seen when testing with schbench too: echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/cgroup.procs echo 700000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/cpu.cfs_quota_us echo 100000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/cpu.cfs_period_us echo 400000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/cpu.cfs_burst_us # The average CPU usage is around 500%, which is 200ms CPU time # every 40ms. ./schbench -m 1 -t 30 -r 60 -c 10000 -R 500 Without burst: Latency percentiles (usec) 50.0000th: 7 75.0000th: 8 90.0000th: 9 95.0000th: 10 *99.0000th: 933 99.5000th: 981 99.9000th: 3068 min=0, max=20054 rps: 498.31 p95 (usec) 10 p99 (usec) 933 p95/cputime 0.10% p99/cputime 9.33% With burst: Latency percentiles (usec) 50.0000th: 7 75.0000th: 8 90.0000th: 9 95.0000th: 9 *99.0000th: 12 99.5000th: 13 99.9000th: 19 min=0, max=406 rps: 498.36 p95 (usec) 9 p99 (usec) 12 p95/cputime 0.09% p99/cputime 0.12% How much workloads with benefit from burstable CFS bandwidth control depends on how bursty and how latency sensitive they are. Previously, Cong Wang and Konstantin Khlebnikov proposed similar feature: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180522062017.5193-1-xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com/ https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/157476581065.5793.4518979877345136813.stgit@buzz/ This time we present more latency statistics and handle overflow while accumulating.
