Subject: [RFC PATCH] RTTIME watchdog timer proc interface

Hi Ingo,

I think an interface to access RLIMIT_RTTIME from outside is useful.
It makes administrator able to set RLIMIT_RTTIME watchdog to existing
real-time applications without impact.

I implemented that interface with /proc filesystem.

From: Hiroshi Shimamoto <[email protected]>

Introduce new proc interface for RTTIME watchdog.
It makes administrator able to set RTTIME watchdog to existing applications.

$ echo 10000000 > /proc/<pid>/rttime
set RTTIME current value to 10000000, it means 10sec.

$ echo "10000000 20000000" > /proc/<pid>/rttime
set RTTIME current value to 10000000 and max value to 20000000.

/proc/<pid>/tasks/<tid>/rttime might also make sense.

As well as /proc/*/limits for all kinds of rlimit stuff.

I just realized that because its an rlimit, we store these values
process-wide. The per task thing was a feature request from someone, and
I just jumped on your interface without proper consideration.

I'll need to think a bit more on this

I know RLIMIT_RTTIME is process-wide.
I'm not sure that someone requests for the per task.

OK.

Thanks,
