# Readiness Interference

In this file, we define the "interference" (or delay) incurred by a job due to the fact that the job may become non-ready before its completion.
We model this interference as an instant when there is no higher-or-equal priority ready jobs (w.r.t. the job under analysis). This can be due to self-suspension or other similar behavior.
By design, the notion of interference defined here is mutually exclusive with "regular" interference, i.e., the execution of other higher-or-equal-priority jobs irrespective of whether the job under analysis is ready.
The two notions being mutually exclusive will help us simplify proofs later on. Therefore, we model interference due to the job under analysis becoming non-ready as an instant when there is no higher-or-equal-priority ready job.
Section ReadinessInterference.
Consider any tasks.
Context {Task : TaskType}.
Consider any kind of jobs.
Context {Job : JobType}.
Context `{JobArrival Job}.
Context `{JobCost Job}.
Context `{JobTask Job Task}.
Consider any kind of processor model.
Context `{PState : ProcessorState Job}.
Consider any notion of readiness. Note that although any notion of readiness would work, it wouldn't make sense to have this kind of interference in case of a work-bearing notion of readiness, since this interference would always be false in that case.
Context `{!JobReady Job PState}.
Consider any arrival sequence of jobs.
Variable arr_seq : arrival_sequence Job.
Consider any schedule.
Variable sched : schedule PState.
Consider any JLFP priority policy.
Context {JLFP : JLFP_policy Job}.
Section Definitions.
Now consider any job j.
Variable j : Job.
We are interested in instants at which at least one higher-or-equal-priority job is ready.
Definition some_hep_job_ready (t : instant) :=
has (fun j' ⇒ job_ready sched j' t)
[seq j' <- arrivals_up_to arr_seq t | hep_job j' j].
Based on the above definition, we introduce a notion of cumulative interference in a given interval due to the absence of higher-or-equal-priority ready jobs.
Definition cumulative_readiness_interference (t1 t2 : instant) :=
\sum_(t1 ≤ t < t2) ~~ some_hep_job_ready t.
End Definitions.
In this section, we define the notion of a bound on readiness interference.
Section Bound.
Assume that we have some definition of Interference and InterferingWorkload.
Context `{Interference Job}.
Context `{InterferingWorkload Job}.
We say B is a bound on readiness interference if for any job j and any interval `[t1, t1 + Δ)` that is inside the busy interval `[t1, t2]` of j, B is a upper bounds the total interference due to the absence of higher-or-equal priority ready jobs in the interval `[t1, t1 + Δ)`.
Definition readiness_interference_is_bounded (B : duration → duration → duration) :=
∀ j t1 t2 Δ,
t1 + Δ ≤ t2 →
busy_interval_prefix sched j t1 t2 →
cumulative_readiness_interference j t1 (t1 + Δ) ≤ B (job_arrival j - t1) Δ.
End Bound.
End ReadinessInterference.
