[RFC][PATCH 14/15] sched/fair: Add sched group latency support

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Wed May 31 2023 - 08:49:29 EST


From: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@xxxxxxxxxx>

Task can set its latency priority with sched_setattr(), which is then used
to set the latency offset of its sched_enity, but sched group entities
still have the default latency offset value.

Add a latency.nice field in cpu cgroup controller to set the latency
priority of the group similarly to sched_setattr(). The latency priority
is then used to set the offset of the sched_entities of the group.
