[PATCH v2 2/3] sched/core: Propagate parent task's latency requirements to the child task

From: Parth Shah
Date: Sun Dec 08 2019 - 02:15:14 EST


Clone parent task's latency_tolerance attribute to the forked child task.

Reset the latency_tolerance value to default value when the child task is
set to sched_reset_on_fork.
