Subject: [PATCH v3] Sched/fair: Block nohz tick_stop when cfs bandwidth in use
Date:   Wed, 28 Jun 2023 15:02:27 -0400

CFS bandwidth limits and NOHZ full don't play well together.  Tasks
can easily run well past their quotas before a remote tick does
accounting.  This leads to long, multi-period stalls before such
tasks can run again. Currentlyi, when presented with these conflicting
requirements the scheduler is favoring nohz_full and letting the tick
be stopped. However, nohz tick stopping is already best-effort, there
are a number of conditions that can prevent it, whereas cfs runtime
bandwidth is expected to be enforced.

Make the scheduler favor bandwidth over stopping the tick by setting
TICK_DEP_BIT_SCHED when the only running task is a cfs task with
runtime limit enabled.

Add sched_feat HZ_BW (off by default) to control this behavior.

v2:  Ben pointed out that the bit could get cleared in the dequeue path
if we migrate a newly enqueued task without preempting curr. Added a
check for that edge case to sched_can_stop_tick. Removed the call to
sched_can_stop_tick from sched_fair_update_stop_tick since it was
redundant.

v3: Moved sched_cfs_bandwidth_active() prototype to sched.h outside of
guards to silence -Wmissing-prototypes.
