commitc7fcb99877upstream. There is a 10% rounding error in the intial value of the sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice with CONFIG_HZ_300=y. This was found with LTP test sched_rr_get_interval01: sched_rr_get_interval01.c:57: TPASS: sched_rr_get_interval() passed sched_rr_get_interval01.c:64: TPASS: Time quantum 0s 99999990ns sched_rr_get_interval01.c:72: TFAIL: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms != 100 got 90 sched_rr_get_interval01.c:57: TPASS: sched_rr_get_interval() passed sched_rr_get_interval01.c:64: TPASS: Time quantum 0s 99999990ns sched_rr_get_interval01.c:72: TFAIL: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms != 100 got 90 What this test does is to compare the return value from the sched_rr_get_interval() and the sched_rr_timeslice_ms sysctl file and fails if they do not match. The problem it found is the intial sysctl file value which was computed as: static int sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice = (MSEC_PER_SEC / HZ) * RR_TIMESLICE; which works fine as long as MSEC_PER_SEC is multiple of HZ, however it introduces 10% rounding error for CONFIG_HZ_300: (MSEC_PER_SEC / HZ) * (100 * HZ / 1000) (1000 / 300) * (100 * 300 / 1000) 3 * 30 = 90 This can be easily fixed by reversing the order of the multiplication and division. After this fix we get: (MSEC_PER_SEC * (100 * HZ / 1000)) / HZ (1000 * (100 * 300 / 1000)) / 300 (1000 * 30) / 300 = 100 Fixes:975e155ed8("sched/rt: Show the 'sched_rr_timeslice' SCHED_RR timeslice tuning knob in milliseconds") Signed-off-by: Cyril Hrubis <chrubis@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Tested-by: Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230802151906.25258-2-chrubis@suse.cz [ pvorel: rebased for 5.15, 5.10 ] Signed-off-by: Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
