Sorry I didn't notice __uclamp_update_util_min_rt_default will return
directly if user_defined is set, I'll fix it.

Do you mean adding these code in for_each_clamp_id(clamp_id) loop?

if (clamp_id == UCLAMP_MIN) {
if (flags == SCHED_FLAG_UTIL_CLAMP_RESET ||
(reset && (flags || SCHED_FLAG_UTIL_CLAMP_MIN)) ||
!se->user_defined) {
if (task_rt(p)) {
clamp_value = sysctl_sched_uclamp_util_min_rt_default
} else {
clamp_value = uclamp_none(clamp_id);
}
} else
continue;
}
/* similar code for UCLAMP_MAX */
...
uclamp_se_set(uc_se, clamp_value, false);

It seems more clear.
If you think this one is better, I'll use this method and send patch V4.
