* sched/doc: Update documentation for base_slice_ns and CONFIG_HZ relationMukesh Kumar Chaurasiya2024-03-211-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The tunable base_slice_ns is dependent on CONFIG_HZ (i.e. TICK_NSEC) for any significant performance improvement. The reason being the scheduler tick is not frequent enough to force preemption when base_slice expires in case of: base_slice_ns < TICK_NSEC The below data is of stress-ng: Number of CPU: 1 Stressor threads: 4 Time: 30sec On CONFIG_HZ=1000 | base_slice | avg-run (msec) | context-switches | | ---------- | -------------- | ---------------- | | 3ms | 2.914 | 10342 | | 6ms | 4.857 | 6196 | | 9ms | 6.754 | 4482 | | 12ms | 7.872 | 3802 | | 22ms | 11.294 | 2710 | | 32ms | 13.425 | 2284 | On CONFIG_HZ=100 | base_slice | avg-run (msec) | context-switches | | ---------- | -------------- | ---------------- | | 3ms | 9.144 | 3337 | | 6ms | 9.113 | 3301 | | 9ms | 8.991 | 3315 | | 12ms | 12.935 | 2328 | | 22ms | 16.031 | 1915 | | 32ms | 18.608 | 1622 | base_slice: the value of base_slice in ms avg-run (msec): average time of the stressor threads got on cpu before it got preempted context-switches: number of context switches for the stress-ng process Signed-off-by: Mukesh Kumar Chaurasiya <mchauras@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240320173815.927637-2-mchauras@linux.ibm.com

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After committing the scheduler to EEVDF, we renamed the 'min_granularity_ns' sysctl to 'base_slice_ns': e4ec3318a17f ("sched/debug: Rename sysctl_sched_min_granularity to sysctl_sched_base_slice") ... but we forgot to rename it in the documentation.

* docs: scheduler: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rstMauro Carvalho Chehab2019-06-141-0/+249
In order to prepare to add them to the Kernel API book, convert the files to ReST format. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
