sched/deadline: Make sure the replenishment timer fires in the next period
Currently, the replenishment timer is set to fire at the deadline of a task. Although that works for implicit deadline tasks because the deadline is equals to the begin of the next period, that is not correct for constrained deadline tasks (deadline < period). For instance: f.c: --------------- %< --------------- int main (void) { for(;;); } --------------- >% --------------- # gcc -o f f.c # trace-cmd record -e sched:sched_switch \ -e syscalls:sys_exit_sched_setattr \ chrt -d --sched-runtime 490000000 \ --sched-deadline 500000000 \ --sched-period 1000000000 0 ./f # trace-cmd report | grep "{pid of ./f}" After setting parameters, the task is replenished and continue running until being throttled: f-11295 [003] 13322.113776: sys_exit_sched_setattr: 0x0 The task is throttled after running 492318 ms, as expected: f-11295 [003] 13322.606094: sched_switch: f:11295 [-1] R ==> watchdog/3:32 [0] But then, the task is replenished 500719 ms after the first replenishment: <idle>-0 [003] 13322.614495: sched_switch: swapper/3:0 [120] R ==> f:11295 [-1] Running for 490277 ms: f-11295 [003] 13323.104772: sched_switch: f:11295 [-1] R ==> swapper/3:0 [120] Hence, in the first period, the task runs 2 * runtime, and that is a bug. During the first replenishment, the next deadline is set one period away. So the runtime / period starts to be respected. However, as the second replenishment took place in the wrong instant, the next replenishment will also be held in a wrong instant of time. Rather than occurring in the nth period away from the first activation, it is taking place in the (nth period - relative deadline).
