Hi all, this is a respin of:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190515094459.10317-1-patrick.bellasi@arm.com/

which addresses all Tejun's concerns:

 - rename cgroup attributes to be cpu.uclamp.{min,max}
 - update initialization of subgroups clamps to be "no clamps" by default
 - use percentage rational numbers for clamp attributes, e.g. "12.34" for 12.34%.

by introducing modifications impacting only patches:

 [PATCH v10 12/16] sched/core: uclamp: Extend CPU's cgroup controller
 [PATCH v10 13/16] sched/core: uclamp: Propagate parent clamps

The rest of the patches are the same as per in v9, they have been just rebased
on top of:

   tj/cgroup.git	for-5.3
   tip/tip.git		sched/core

AFAIU, all the first 11 patches have been code reviewed and should be at a
"ready to merge" quality level. Please let me know if I'm wrong and there
is something else I need/can to do on those patches.

Otherwise, now that we should have settled all the behavioral aspects, I'm
looking forward for a code review on the last set of patches of this series.

Cheers,
Patrick


Series Organization
===================

The series is organized into these main sections:

 - Patches [01-07]: Per task (primary) API
 - Patches [08-09]: Schedutil integration for FAIR and RT tasks
 - Patches [10-11]: Integration with EAS's energy_compute()
 - Patches [12-16]: Per task group (secondary) API

It is based on today's tj/cgroup/for-5.3 and tip/sched/core and the full tree
is available here:

Newcomer's Short Abstract
=========================

The Linux scheduler tracks a "utilization" signal for each scheduling entity
(SE), e.g. tasks, to know how much CPU time they use. This signal allows the
scheduler to know how "big" a task is and, in principle, it can support
advanced task placement strategies by selecting the best CPU to run a task.
Some of these strategies are represented by the Energy Aware Scheduler [3].

When the schedutil cpufreq governor is in use, the utilization signal allows
the Linux scheduler to also drive frequency selection. The CPU utilization
signal, which represents the aggregated utilization of tasks scheduled on that
CPU, is used to select the frequency which best fits the workload generated by
the tasks.

The current translation of utilization values into a frequency selection is
simple: we go to max for RT tasks or to the minimum frequency which can
accommodate the utilization of DL+FAIR tasks.
However, utilization values by themselves cannot convey the desired
power/performance behaviors of each task as intended by user-space.
As such they are not ideally suited for task placement decisions.

Task placement and frequency selection policies in the kernel can be improved
by taking into consideration hints coming from authorized user-space elements,
like for example the Android middleware or more generally any "System
Management Software" (SMS) framework.

Utilization clamping is a mechanism which allows to "clamp" (i.e. filter) the
utilization generated by RT and FAIR tasks within a range defined by user-space.
The clamped utilization value can then be used, for example, to enforce a
minimum and/or maximum frequency depending on which tasks are active on a CPU.

The main use-cases for utilization clamping are:

 - boosting: better interactive response for small tasks which
   are affecting the user experience.

   Consider for example the case of a small control thread for an external
   accelerator (e.g. GPU, DSP, other devices). Here, from the task utilization
   the scheduler does not have a complete view of what the task's requirements
   are and, if it's a small utilization task, it keeps selecting a more energy
   efficient CPU, with smaller capacity and lower frequency, thus negatively
   impacting the overall time required to complete task activations.

 - capping: increase energy efficiency for background tasks not affecting the
   user experience.

   Since running on a lower capacity CPU at a lower frequency is more energy
   efficient, when the completion time is not a main goal, then capping the
   utilization considered for certain (maybe big) tasks can have positive
   effects, both on energy consumption and thermal headroom.
   This feature allows also to make RT tasks more energy friendly on mobile
   systems where running them on high capacity CPUs and at the maximum
   frequency is not required.

From these two use-cases, it's worth noticing that frequency selection
biasing, introduced by patches 9 and 10 of this series, is just one possible
usage of utilization clamping. Another compelling extension of utilization
clamping is in helping the scheduler in making tasks placement decisions.

Utilization is (also) a task specific property the scheduler uses to know
how much CPU bandwidth a task requires, at least as long as there is idle time.
Thus, the utilization clamp values, defined either per-task or per-task_group,
can represent tasks to the scheduler as being bigger (or smaller) than what
they actually are.

Utilization clamping thus enables interesting additional optimizations, for
example on asymmetric capacity systems like Arm big.LITTLE and DynamIQ CPUs,
where:

 - boosting: try to run small/foreground tasks on higher-capacity CPUs to
   complete them faster despite being less energy efficient.

 - capping: try to run big/background tasks on low-capacity CPUs to save power
   and thermal headroom for more important tasks

This series does not present this additional usage of utilization clamping but
it's an integral part of the EAS feature set, where [4] is one of its main
components.

Android kernels use SchedTune, a solution similar to utilization clamping, to
bias both 'frequency selection' and 'task placement'. This series provides the
foundation to add similar features to mainline while focusing, for the
time being, just on schedutil integration.

Utilization clamping allows to clamp the CPU's utilization within a
[util_min, util_max] range, depending on the set of RUNNABLE tasks on
that CPU. Each task references two "clamp buckets" defining its minimum
and maximum (util_{min,max}) utilization "clamp values". A CPU's clamp
bucket is active if there is at least one RUNNABLE tasks enqueued on
that CPU and refcounting that bucket.

When a task is {en,de}queued {on,from} a rq, the set of active clamp
buckets on that CPU can change. If the set of active clamp buckets
changes for a CPU a new "aggregated" clamp value is computed for that
CPU. This is because each clamp bucket enforces a different utilization
clamp value.

Clamp values are always MAX aggregated for both util_min and util_max.
This ensures that no task can affect the performance of other
co-scheduled tasks which are more boosted (i.e. with higher util_min
clamp) or less capped (i.e. with higher util_max clamp).

A task has:
   task_struct::uclamp[clamp_id]::bucket_id
to track the "bucket index" of the CPU's clamp bucket it refcounts while
enqueued, for each clamp index (clamp_id).

A runqueue has:
   rq::uclamp[clamp_id]::bucket[bucket_id].tasks
to track how many RUNNABLE tasks on that CPU refcount each
clamp bucket (bucket_id) of a clamp index (clamp_id).
It also has a:
   rq::uclamp[clamp_id]::bucket[bucket_id].value
to track the clamp value of each clamp bucket (bucket_id) of a clamp
index (clamp_id).

The rq::uclamp::bucket[clamp_id][] array is scanned every time it's
needed to find a new MAX aggregated clamp value for a clamp_id. This
operation is required only when it's dequeued the last task of a clamp
bucket tracking the current MAX aggregated clamp value. In this case,
the CPU is either entering IDLE or going to schedule a less boosted or
more clamped task.
The expected number of different clamp values configured at build time
is small enough to fit the full unordered array into a single cache
line, for configurations of up to 7 buckets.

Add to struct rq the basic data structures required to refcount the
number of RUNNABLE tasks for each clamp bucket. Add also the max
aggregation required to update the rq's clamp value at each
enqueue/dequeue event.

Use a simple linear mapping of clamp values into clamp buckets.
Pre-compute and cache bucket_id to avoid integer divisions at
enqueue/dequeue time.

Because of bucketization, different task-specific clamp values are
tracked in the same bucket.  For example, with 20% bucket size and
assuming to have:
  Task1: util_min=25%
  Task2: util_min=35%
both tasks will be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and always boosted
only up to 20% thus implementing a simple floor aggregation normally
used in histograms.

In systems with only few and well-defined clamp values, it would be
useful to track the exact clamp value required by a task whenever
possible. For example, if a system requires only 23% and 47% boost
values then it's possible to track the exact boost required by each
task using only 3 buckets of ~33% size each.

Introduce a mechanism to max aggregate the requested clamp values of
RUNNABLE tasks in the same bucket. Keep it simple by resetting the
bucket value to its base value only when a bucket becomes inactive.
Allow a limited and controlled overboosting margin for tasks recounted
in the same bucket.

In systems where the boost values are not known in advance, it is still
possible to control the maximum acceptable overboosting margin by tuning
the number of clamp groups. For example, 20 groups ensure a 5% maximum
overboost.

Remove the rq bucket initialization code since a correct bucket value
is now computed when a task is refcounted into a CPU's rq.

When a task sleeps it removes its max utilization clamp from its CPU.
However, the blocked utilization on that CPU can be higher than the max
clamp value enforced while the task was running. This allows undesired
CPU frequency increases while a CPU is idle, for example, when another
CPU on the same frequency domain triggers a frequency update, since
schedutil can now see the full not clamped blocked utilization of the
idle CPU.

Fix this by using
  uclamp_rq_dec_id(p, rq, UCLAMP_MAX)
    uclamp_rq_max_value(rq, UCLAMP_MAX, clamp_value)
to detect when a CPU has no more RUNNABLE clamped tasks and to flag this
condition.

Don't track any minimum utilization clamps since an idle CPU never
requires a minimum frequency. The decay of the blocked utilization is
good enough to reduce the CPU frequency.

Tasks without a user-defined clamp value are considered not clamped
and by default their utilization can have any value in the
[0..SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE] range.

Tasks with a user-defined clamp value are allowed to request any value
in that range, and the required clamp is unconditionally enforced.
However, a "System Management Software" could be interested in limiting
the range of clamp values allowed for all tasks.

Add a privileged interface to define a system default configuration via:

  /proc/sys/kernel/sched_uclamp_util_{min,max}

which works as an unconditional clamp range restriction for all tasks.

With the default configuration, the full SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE range of
values is allowed for each clamp index. Otherwise, the task-specific
clamp is capped by the corresponding system default value.

Do that by tracking, for each task, the "effective" clamp value and
bucket the task has been refcounted in at enqueue time. This
allows to lazy aggregate "requested" and "system default" values at
enqueue time and simplifies refcounting updates at dequeue time.

The cached bucket ids are used to avoid (relatively) more expensive
integer divisions every time a task is enqueued.

An active flag is used to report when the "effective" value is valid and
thus the task is actually refcounted in the corresponding rq's bucket.

The sched_setattr() syscall mandates that a policy is always specified.
This requires to always know which policy a task will have when
attributes are configured and this makes it impossible to add more
generic task attributes valid across different scheduling policies.
Reading the policy before setting generic tasks attributes is racy since
we cannot be sure it is not changed concurrently.

Introduce the required support to change generic task attributes without
affecting the current task policy. This is done by adding an attribute flag
(SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_POLICY) to enforce the usage of the current policy.

Add support for the SETPARAM_POLICY policy, which is already used by the
sched_setparam() POSIX syscall, to the sched_setattr() non-POSIX
syscall.

The SCHED_DEADLINE scheduling class provides an advanced and formal
model to define tasks requirements that can translate into proper
decisions for both task placements and frequencies selections. Other
classes have a more simplified model based on the POSIX concept of
priorities.

Such a simple priority based model however does not allow to exploit
most advanced features of the Linux scheduler like, for example, driving
frequencies selection via the schedutil cpufreq governor. However, also
for non SCHED_DEADLINE tasks, it's still interesting to define tasks
properties to support scheduler decisions.

Utilization clamping exposes to user-space a new set of per-task
attributes the scheduler can use as hints about the expected/required
utilization for a task. This allows to implement a "proactive" per-task
frequency control policy, a more advanced policy than the current one
based just on "passive" measured task utilization. For example, it's
possible to boost interactive tasks (e.g. to get better performance) or
cap background tasks (e.g. to be more energy/thermal efficient).

Introduce a new API to set utilization clamping values for a specified
task by extending sched_setattr(), a syscall which already allows to
define task specific properties for different scheduling classes. A new
pair of attributes allows to specify a minimum and maximum utilization
the scheduler can consider for a task.

Do that by validating the required clamp values before and then applying
the required changes using _the_ same pattern already in use for
__setscheduler(). This ensures that the task is re-enqueued with the new
clamp values.

A forked tasks gets the same clamp values of its parent however, when
the RESET_ON_FORK flag is set on parent, e.g. via:

   sys_sched_setattr()
      sched_setattr()
         __sched_setscheduler(attr::SCHED_FLAG_RESET_ON_FORK)

the new forked task is expected to start with all attributes reset to
default values.

Do that for utilization clamp values too by checking the reset request
from the existing uclamp_fork() call which already provides the required
initialization for other uclamp related bits.

By default FAIR tasks start without clamps, i.e. neither boosted nor
capped, and they run at the best frequency matching their utilization
demand.  This default behavior does not fit RT tasks which instead are
expected to run at the maximum available frequency, if not otherwise
required by explicitly capping them.

Enforce the correct behavior for RT tasks by setting util_min to max
whenever:

 1. the task is switched to the RT class and it does not already have a
    user-defined clamp value assigned.

 2. an RT task is forked from a parent with RESET_ON_FORK set.

NOTE: utilization clamp values are cross scheduling class attributes and
thus they are never changed/reset once a value has been explicitly
defined from user-space.

Each time a frequency update is required via schedutil, a frequency is
selected to (possibly) satisfy the utilization reported by each
scheduling class and irqs. However, when utilization clamping is in use,
the frequency selection should consider userspace utilization clamping
hints.  This will allow, for example, to:

 - boost tasks which are directly affecting the user experience
   by running them at least at a minimum "requested" frequency

 - cap low priority tasks not directly affecting the user experience
   by running them only up to a maximum "allowed" frequency

These constraints are meant to support a per-task based tuning of the
frequency selection thus supporting a fine grained definition of
performance boosting vs energy saving strategies in kernel space.

Add support to clamp the utilization of RUNNABLE FAIR and RT tasks
within the boundaries defined by their aggregated utilization clamp
constraints.

Do that by considering the max(min_util, max_util) to give boosted tasks
the performance they need even when they happen to be co-scheduled with
other capped tasks.

So far uclamp_util() allows to clamp a specified utilization considering
the clamp values requested by RUNNABLE tasks in a CPU. For the Energy
Aware Scheduler (EAS) it is interesting to test how clamp values will
change when a task is becoming RUNNABLE on a given CPU.
For example, EAS is interested in comparing the energy impact of
different scheduling decisions and the clamp values can play a role on
that.

Add uclamp_util_with() which allows to clamp a given utilization by
considering the possible impact on CPU clamp values of a specified task.

The Energy Aware Scheduler (EAS) estimates the energy impact of waking
up a task on a given CPU. This estimation is based on:
 a) an (active) power consumption defined for each CPU frequency
 b) an estimation of which frequency will be used on each CPU
 c) an estimation of the busy time (utilization) of each CPU

Utilization clamping can affect both b) and c).
A CPU is expected to run:
 - on an higher than required frequency, but for a shorter time, in case
   its estimated utilization will be smaller than the minimum utilization
   enforced by uclamp
 - on a smaller than required frequency, but for a longer time, in case
   its estimated utilization is bigger than the maximum utilization
   enforced by uclamp

While compute_energy() already accounts clamping effects on busy time,
the clamping effects on frequency selection are currently ignored.

Fix it by considering how CPU clamp values will be affected by a
task waking up and being RUNNABLE on that CPU.

Do that by refactoring schedutil_freq_util() to take an additional
task_struct* which allows EAS to evaluate the impact on clamp values of
a task being eventually queued in a CPU. Clamp values are applied to the
RT+CFS utilization only when a FREQUENCY_UTIL is required by
compute_energy().

Do note that switching from ENERGY_UTIL to FREQUENCY_UTIL in the
computation of the cpu_util signal implies that we are more likely to
estimate the highest OPP when a RT task is running in another CPU of
the same performance domain. This can have an impact on energy
estimation but:
 - it's not easy to say which approach is better, since it depends on
   the use case
 - the original approach could still be obtained by setting a smaller
   task-specific util_min whenever required

Since we are at that:
 - rename schedutil_freq_util() into schedutil_cpu_util(),
   since it's not only used for frequency selection.

The cgroup CPU bandwidth controller allows to assign a specified
(maximum) bandwidth to the tasks of a group. However this bandwidth is
defined and enforced only on a temporal base, without considering the
actual frequency a CPU is running on. Thus, the amount of computation
completed by a task within an allocated bandwidth can be very different
depending on the actual frequency the CPU is running that task.
The amount of computation can be affected also by the specific CPU a
task is running on, especially when running on asymmetric capacity
systems like Arm's big.LITTLE.

With the availability of schedutil, the scheduler is now able
to drive frequency selections based on actual task utilization.
Moreover, the utilization clamping support provides a mechanism to
bias the frequency selection operated by schedutil depending on
constraints assigned to the tasks currently RUNNABLE on a CPU.

Giving the mechanisms described above, it is now possible to extend the
cpu controller to specify the minimum (or maximum) utilization which
should be considered for tasks RUNNABLE on a cpu.
This makes it possible to better defined the actual computational
power assigned to task groups, thus improving the cgroup CPU bandwidth
controller which is currently based just on time constraints.

Extend the CPU controller with a couple of new attributes uclamp.{min,max}
which allow to enforce utilization boosting and capping for all the
tasks in a group.

Specifically:

- uclamp.min: defines the minimum utilization which should be considered
	      i.e. the RUNNABLE tasks of this group will run at least at a
	      	 minimum frequency which corresponds to the uclamp.min
	      	 utilization

- uclamp.max: defines the maximum utilization which should be considered
	      i.e. the RUNNABLE tasks of this group will run up to a
	      	 maximum frequency which corresponds to the uclamp.max
	      	 utilization

These attributes:

a) are available only for non-root nodes, both on default and legacy
   hierarchies, while system wide clamps are defined by a generic
   interface which does not depends on cgroups. This system wide
   interface enforces constraints on tasks in the root node.

b) enforce effective constraints at each level of the hierarchy which
   are a restriction of the group requests considering its parent's
   effective constraints. Root group effective constraints are defined
   by the system wide interface.
   This mechanism allows each (non-root) level of the hierarchy to:
   - request whatever clamp values it would like to get
   - effectively get only up to the maximum amount allowed by its parent

c) have higher priority than task-specific clamps, defined via
   sched_setattr(), thus allowing to control and restrict task requests.

Add two new attributes to the cpu controller to collect "requested"
clamp values. Allow that at each non-root level of the hierarchy.
Validate local consistency by enforcing uclamp.min < uclamp.max.
Keep it simple by not caring now about "effective" values computation
and propagation along the hierarchy.

In order to properly support hierarchical resources control, the cgroup
delegation model requires that attribute writes from a child group never
fail but still are (potentially) constrained based on parent's assigned
resources. This requires to properly propagate and aggregate parent
attributes down to its descendants.

Let's implement this mechanism by adding a new "effective" clamp value
for each task group. The effective clamp value is defined as the smaller
value between the clamp value of a group and the effective clamp value
of its parent. This is the actual clamp value enforced on tasks in a
task group.

Since it can be interesting for userspace, e.g. system management
software, to know exactly what the currently propagated/enforced
configuration is, the effective clamp values are exposed to user-space
by means of a new pair of read-only attributes
cpu.util.{min,max}.effective.

The clamp values are not tunable at the level of the root task group.
That's for two main reasons:

 - the root group represents "system resources" which are always
   entirely available from the cgroup standpoint.

 - when tuning/restricting "system resources" makes sense, tuning must
   be done using a system wide API which should also be available when
   control groups are not.

When a system wide restriction is available, cgroups should be aware of
its value in order to know exactly how much "system resources" are
available for the subgroups.

Utilization clamping supports already the concepts of:

 - system defaults: which define the maximum possible clamp values
   usable by tasks.

 - effective clamps: which allows a parent cgroup to constraint (maybe
   temporarily) its descendants without losing the information related
   to the values "requested" from them.

Exploit these two concepts and bind them together in such a way that,
whenever system default are tuned, the new values are propagated to
(possibly) restrict or relax the "effective" value of nested cgroups.

When a task specific clamp value is configured via sched_setattr(2),
this value is accounted in the corresponding clamp bucket every time the
task is {en,de}qeued. However, when cgroups are also in use, the task
specific clamp values could be restricted by the task_group (TG)
clamp values.

Update uclamp_cpu_inc() to aggregate task and TG clamp values. Every
time a task is enqueued, it's accounted in the clamp_bucket defining the
smaller clamp between the task specific value and its TG effective
value. This allows to:

1. ensure cgroup clamps are always used to restrict task specific
   requests, i.e. boosted only up to the effective granted value or
   clamped at least to a certain value

2. implement a "nice-like" policy, where tasks are still allowed to
   request less then what enforced by their current TG

This mimics what already happens for a task's CPU affinity mask when the
task is also in a cpuset, i.e. cgroup attributes are always used to
restrict per-task attributes.

Do this by exploiting the concept of "effective" clamp, which is already
used by a TG to track parent enforced restrictions.

Apply task group clamp restrictions only to tasks belonging to a child
group. While, for tasks in the root group or in an autogroup, only
system defaults are enforced.

On updates of task group (TG) clamp values, ensure that these new values
are enforced on all RUNNABLE tasks of the task group, i.e. all RUNNABLE
tasks are immediately boosted and/or clamped as requested.

Do that by slightly refactoring uclamp_bucket_inc(). An additional
parameter *cgroup_subsys_state (css) is used to walk the list of tasks
in the TGs and update the RUNNABLE ones. Do that by taking the rq
lock for each task, the same mechanism used for cpu affinity masks
updates.

That conflicts with the patch I have removing that NULL argument, fixed

Was there a good reason for this to be a macro and not an inline

Ok, I notice only know you have this:

Mmm... not really, apart perhaps saving some lines.

I notice sometimes we use macros (e.g. perf_domain_span), but it's
certainly not the most common pattern.

Sure, I guess if 0day explodes will not be for that change. :)

Regarding the behavioral aspects, here I have a report with some
simple tests for the current implementation:

   https://gist.github.com/derkling/519459b5a2be35d8681fbaf1d6efe225

There are a couple of sections at the end to test the "Delegation
Model" with both CGroups v1 and v2.

I'm sharing the link just in case it can be helpful to verify if what
has been implemented is actually matching what Tejun expects as a sane
cgroups interface.

Cheers,
Patrick

Hello,

Generally looks good to me.  Some nitpicks.

I kinda wonder whether the term bandwidth is a bit confusing because
it's also used for cpu.max/min.  Would just calling it frequency be
clearer?

I don't think you need the above check.

So, uclamp.max limits the maximum freq% can get and uclamp.min limits
hte maximum freq% protection can get in the subtree.  Let's say
uclamp.max is 50% and uclamp.min is 100%.  It means that protection is
not limited but the actual freq% is limited upto 50%, which isn't
necessarily invalid.  For a simple example, a user might be saying
that they want to get whatever protection they can get from its parent
but wanna limit eventual freq at 50% and it isn't too difficult to
imagine cases where the two knobs are configured separately especially
configuration is being managed hierarchically / automatically.

tl;dr is that we don't need the above restriction and shouldn't
generally be restricting configurations when they don't need to.

Thanks.

Can we not add the effective interface file for now?  I don't think
it's a bad idea but would like to think more about it.  For cpuset, it
was needed because configuration was so interwoven with the effective
masks, but we don't generally do this for other min/max or weight
knobs, all of which have effective hierarchical values and I'm not
quite sure about adding .effective for all of them.  It could be that
that's what we end up doing eventually but I'd like to think a bit
more about it.

Thanks.

Maybe I should find a better way to express the concept above.

I agree that bandwidth is already used by cpu.{max,min}, what I want
to call out is that clamps allows to enrich that concept.

By hinting the scheduler on min/max required utilization we can better
defined the amount of actual CPU cycles required/allowed.
That's a bit more precise bandwidth control compared to just rely on
temporal runnable/period limits.

Don't we want to forbid attributes tuning from the root group?

That's not possible, in the current implementation we always enforce
the limit (uclamp.max) to be _not smaller_ then the protection
(uclamp.min).

Indeed, in principle, it does not make sense to ask for a minimum
utilization (i.e. frequency boosting) which is higher then the
maximum allowed utilization (i.e. frequency capping).

That's not my understanding, in v10 by default when we create a
subgroup we assign it uclamp.min=0%, meaning that we don't boost
frequencies.

It seems instead that you are asking to set uclamp.min=100% by
default, so that the effective value will give us whatever the father
allow. Is that correct?

You mean just the (read-only) user-space API right?

I found it quite convenient, even just for debugging.
Moreover it allows a container to know what it's exactly getting...

... but I see your point and, since it's not strictly required, I

Yeah, I just wanna figure out a plan which works for other controllers
too.  It could be that the right thing to do is just adding .effective
to everything but idk I need to think more about it.

I see.  I wonder whether it's overloading the same term too subtly
tho.  It's great to document how they interact but it *might* be
easier for readers if a different term is used even if the meaning is
essentially the same.  Anyways, it's a nitpick.  Please feel free to
ignore.

Yeah, that's enforced by NOT_ON_ROOT flag, right?

Yeah, I'm trying to explain actually it does.

No, the defaults are fine.  I'm trying to say that min/max
configurations don't need to be coupled like this and there are valid
use cases where the configured min is higher than max when
configurations are nested and managed automatically.

Limits always trump protection in effect of course but please don't
limit what can be configured.

Thanks.

Got it, will try come up with a better description in the v11 to avoid
confusion and better explain the "improvements" without polluting too
much the original concept.

Oh right, since we don't show them we can't write them :)

Got it, thanks!

Will fix it in v11.
