From: Xunlei Pang xlpang@redhat.com Date: Wed, 10 May 2017 21:03:37 +0800 Subject: sched/deadline: Zero out positive runtime after throttling constrained tasks
From: Xunlei Pang xlpang@redhat.com
commit ae83b56a56f8d9643dedbee86b457fa1c5d42f59 upstream.
When a contrained task is throttled by dl_check_constrained_dl(), it may carry the remaining positive runtime, as a result when dl_task_timer() fires and calls replenish_dl_entity(), it will not be replenished correctly due to the positive dl_se->runtime.
This patch assigns its runtime to 0 if positive after throttling.
