Sorry let me try again, say I want to set 500us / 1ms.

Then I have to do the following to get it to work:

# echo 100000000 > /sys/kernel/debug/sched/fair_server/cpu0/period
# echo 5000000 > /sys/kernel/debug/sched/fair_server/cpu0/runtime
# echo 10000000 > /sys/kernel/debug/sched/fair_server/cpu0/period
# echo 500000 > /sys/kernel/debug/sched/fair_server/cpu0/runtime
# echo 1000000 > /sys/kernel/debug/sched/fair_server/cpu0/period

IOW, if I boot and do the following, it fails:

# echo 500000 > /sys/kernel/debug/sched/fair_server/cpu0/runtime
bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
