In such model a task is specified by: * - the activation period or minimum instance inter-arrival time; * - the maximum (or average, depending on the actual scheduling * discipline) computation time of all instances, a.k.a. runtime; * - the deadline (relative to the actual activation time) of each * instance. * Very briefly, a periodic (sporadic) task asks for the execution of * some specific computation --which is typically called an instance-- * (at most) every period. Moreover, each instance typically lasts no more * than the runtime and must be completed by time instant t equal to * the instance activation time + the deadline. * * This is reflected by the actual fields of the sched_attr structure: * * @size size of the structure, for fwd/bwd compat. * * @sched_policy task's scheduling policy * @sched_flags for customizing the scheduler behaviour * @sched_nice task's nice value (SCHED_NORMAL/BATCH) * @sched_priority task's static priority (SCHED_FIFO/RR) * @sched_deadline representative of the task's deadline * @sched_runtime representative of the task's runtime * @sched_period representative of the task's period * * Given this task model, there are a multiplicity of scheduling algorithms * and policies, that can be used to ensure all the tasks will make their * timing constraints. * * As of now, the SCHED_DEADLINE policy (sched_dl scheduling class) is the * only user of this new interface. More information about the algorithm * available in the scheduling class file or in Documentation/. */ struct sched_attr { __u32 size; __u32 sched_policy; __u64 sched_flags; /* SCHED_NORMAL, SCHED_BATCH */ __s32 sched_nice; /* SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR */ __u32 sched_priority; /* SCHED_DEADLINE */ __u64 sched_runtime; __u64 sched_deadline; __u64 sched_period; }; #endif /* _UAPI_LINUX_SCHED_TYPES_H */
