If I understood correctly, this is to consider the latency weight and
'shrink/expand'
current task's time slice thus to facilitate preemption. And may I
know why don't we use
__sched_period() but to use sysctl_sched_latency directly? Is it
possible the rq has
more than 8(sched_nr_latency) tasks thus the period is longer than
sysctl_sched_latency?

Thanks,
