The dl_runtime_exceeded() function is supposed to ckeck if
a SCHED_DEADLINE task must be throttled, by checking if its
current runtime is <= 0. However, it also checks if the
scheduling deadline has been missed (the current time is
larger than the current scheduling deadline), further
decreasing the runtime if this happens.
This "double accounting" is wrong:
- In case of partitioned scheduling (or single CPU), this
happens if task_tick_dl() has been called later than expected
(due to small HZ values). In this case, the current runtime is
also negative, and replenish_dl_entity() can take care of the
deadline miss by recharging the current runtime to a value smaller
than dl_runtime
- In case of global scheduling on multiple CPUs, scheduling
deadlines can be missed even if the task did not consume more
runtime than expected, hence penalizing the task is wrong
This patch fix this problem by throttling a SCHED_DEADLINE task
only when its runtime becomes negative, and not modifying the runtime
