[PATCH v5 0/2] Clean up usage of rt_task()

From: Qais Yousef
Date: Tue Jun 04 2024 - 10:51:18 EST


Make rt_task() return true only for RT class and add new realtime_task() to
return true for RT and DL classes to avoid some confusion the old API can
cause.

No functional changes intended in patch 1. Patch 2 cleans up the return type as
suggested by Steve.

Changes since v4:

* Simplify return of rt/realtime_prio() as the explicit true/false was
not necessary (Metin).

Changes since v3:

* Make sure the 'new' bool functions return true/false instead of 1/0.
* Drop patch 2 about hrtimer usage of realtime_task() as ongoing
discussion on v1 indicates its scope outside of this simple cleanup.

Changes since v2:

* Fix one user that should use realtime_task() but remained using
rt_task() (Sebastian)
* New patch to convert all hrtimer users to use realtime_task_policy()
(Sebastian)
* Add a new patch to convert return type to bool (Steve)
* Rebase on tip/sched/core and handle a conflict with code shuffle to
syscalls.c
* Add Reviewed-by Steve

Changes since v1:

* Use realtime_task_policy() instead task_has_realtime_policy() (Peter)
* Improve commit message readability about replace some rt_task()
users.
