Current cpu.max tests (both the normal one and the nested one) are broken. They setup cpu.max with 1000 us quota and the default period (100,000 us). A cpu hog is run for a duration of 1s as per wall clock time. This corresponds to 10 periods, hence an expected usage of 10,000 us. We want the measured usage (as per cpu.stat) to be close to 10,000 us. Previously, this approximate equality test was done by `!values_close(usage_usec, expected_usage_usec, 95)`: if the absolute difference between usage_usec and expected_usage_usec is greater than 95% of their sum, then we pass. And expected_usage_usec was set to 1,000,000 us. Mathematically, this translates to the following being true for pass: |usage - expected_usage| > (usage + expected_usage)*0.95 If usage > expected_usage: usage - expected_usage > (usage + expected_usage)*0.95 0.05*usage > 1.95*expected_usage usage > 39*expected_usage = 39s If usage < expected_usage: expected_usage - usage > (usage + expected_usage)*0.95 0.05*expected_usage > 1.95*usage usage < 0.0256*expected_usage = 25,600 us Combined, Pass if usage < 25,600 us or > 39 s, which makes no sense given that all we need is for usage_usec to be close to 10,000 us. Fix this by explicitly calcuating the expected usage duration based on the configured quota, default period, and the duration, and compare usage_usec and expected_usage_usec using values_close() with a 10% error margin. Also, use snprintf to get the quota string to write to cpu.max instead of hardcoding the quota, ensuring a single source of truth. Remove the check comparing user_usec and expected_usage_usec, since on running this test modified with printfs, it's seen that user_usec and usage_usec can regularly exceed the theoretical expected_usage_usec: $ sudo ./test_cpu user: 10485, usage: 10485, expected: 10000 ok 1 test_cpucg_max user: 11127, usage: 11127, expected: 10000 ok 2 test_cpucg_max_nested $ sudo ./test_cpu user: 10286, usage: 10286, expected: 10000 ok 1 test_cpucg_max user: 10404, usage: 11271, expected: 10000 ok 2 test_cpucg_max_nested Hence, a values_close() check of usage_usec and expected_usage_usec is sufficient.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
