Subject: [PATCH 0/3] DL capacity-aware fixes

While testing cpusets on asymmetric CPU capacity systems I realized that
the admission control, which kicks in when the cpumask of a cpuset is
about to be changed, is not capacity-aware. [PATCH 2/3] addresses this
issue.

Overview:

[PATCH 1/3] - Not part of the DL related changes but here for
convenience : Inline helper function around
static_branch_unlikely(&sched_asym_cpucapacity)

[PATCH 2/3] - Make dl_cpuset_cpumask_can_shrink() capacity-aware.

[PATCH 3/3] - Save a multiplication in dl_task_fits_capacity() by using
already maintained dl_density.

Dietmar Eggemann (3):
sched: Introduce sched_asym_cpucap_active()
sched/deadline: Make dl_cpuset_cpumask_can_shrink() capacity-aware
sched/deadline: Use sched_dl_entity's dl_density in
dl_task_fits_capacity()

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] sched: Introduce sched_asym_cpucap_active()

Create an inline helper for conditional code to be only executed on
asymmetric CPU capacity systems. This makes these (currently ~10 and
future) conditions a lot more readable.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] sched/deadline: Make dl_cpuset_cpumask_can_shrink() capacity-aware

dl_cpuset_cpumask_can_shrink() is used to validate whether there is
still enough CPU capacity for DL tasks in the reduced cpuset.

Currently it still operates on `# remaining CPUs in the cpuset` (1).
Change this to use the already capacity-aware DL admission control
__dl_overflow() for the `cpumask can shrink` test.

dl_b->bw = sched_rt_period << BW_SHIFT / sched_rt_period

dl_b->bw * (1) >= currently allocated bandwidth in root_domain (rd)

Replace (1) w/ `\Sum CPU capacity in rd >> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT`

Adapt __dl_bw_capacity() to take a cpumask instead of a CPU number
argument so that `rd->span` and `cpumask of the reduced cpuset` can
be used here.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] sched/deadline: Use sched_dl_entity's dl_density in dl_task_fits_capacity()

Save a multiplication in dl_task_fits_capacity() by using already
maintained per-sched_dl_entity (i.e. per-task) `dl_runtime/dl_deadline`
(dl_density).

cap_scale(dl_deadline, cap) >= dl_runtime

dl_deadline * cap >> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT >= dl_runtime

cap >= dl_runtime << SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT / dl_deadline

with BW_SHIFT = 2 x SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT

cap >= (dl_runtime << BW_SHIFT / dl_deadline) >> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT

cap >= dl_density >> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT

__sched_setscheduler()->__checkparam_dl() ensures that the 2 corner
cases (if conditions) `runtime == RUNTIME_INF (-1)` and `period == 0`
of to_ratio(deadline, runtime) are not met when setting dl_density in
__sched_setscheduler()-> __setscheduler_params()->__setparam_dl().

There is no direct relation between BW_SHIFT and SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT
and we can change one without modifying the other.

Should you use (BW_SHIFT-SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT) instead of SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT ?

Yes, that's better, similar to cpu_bw_dl(). Thanks!

I had a look as well and, other than Vincent's comment on 3/3, the set
looked good to me. Looking forward for v2. :)
