sched/rt: Fix sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice intial value
[ Upstream commit c7fcb99877f9f542c918509b2801065adcaf46fa ]
There is a 10% rounding error in the intial value of the
sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice with CONFIG_HZ_300=y.
This was found with LTP test sched_rr_get_interval01:
sched_rr_get_interval01.c:57: TPASS: sched_rr_get_interval() passed
sched_rr_get_interval01.c:64: TPASS: Time quantum 0s 99999990ns
sched_rr_get_interval01.c:72: TFAIL: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms != 100 got 90
sched_rr_get_interval01.c:57: TPASS: sched_rr_get_interval() passed
sched_rr_get_interval01.c:64: TPASS: Time quantum 0s 99999990ns
sched_rr_get_interval01.c:72: TFAIL: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms != 100 got 90
What this test does is to compare the return value from the
sched_rr_get_interval() and the sched_rr_timeslice_ms sysctl file and
fails if they do not match.
The problem it found is the intial sysctl file value which was computed as:
static int sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice = (MSEC_PER_SEC / HZ) * RR_TIMESLICE;
which works fine as long as MSEC_PER_SEC is multiple of HZ, however it
introduces 10% rounding error for CONFIG_HZ_300:
(MSEC_PER_SEC / HZ) * (100 * HZ / 1000)
(1000 / 300) * (100 * 300 / 1000)
3 * 30 = 90
This can be easily fixed by reversing the order of the multiplication
and division. After this fix we get:
(MSEC_PER_SEC * (100 * HZ / 1000)) / HZ
(1000 * (100 * 300 / 1000)) / 300
(1000 * 30) / 300 = 100
