It does so by decrementing the runtime of the executing task Ti at a pace equal
to
- dq = -max{ Ui, (1 - Uinact) } dt
+ dq = -max{ Ui / Umax, (1 - Uinact - Uextra) } dt
- where Uinact is the inactive utilization, computed as (this_bq - running_bw),
- and Ui is the bandwidth of task Ti.
+ where:
+
+ - Ui is the bandwidth of task Ti;
+ - Umax is the maximum reclaimable utilization (subjected to RT throttling
+ limits);
+ - Uinact is the (per runqueue) inactive utilization, computed as
+ (this_bq - running_bw);
+ - Uextra is the (per runqueue) extra reclaimable utilization
+ (subjected to RT throttling limits).
Let's now see a trivial example of two deadline tasks with runtime equal
