[PATCH v3 1/8] sched/deadline: Ignore special tasks when rebuilding domains

From: Juri Lelli
Date: Mon Mar 10 2025 - 05:20:05 EST


SCHED_DEADLINE special tasks get a fake bandwidth that is only used to
make sure sleeping and priority inheritance 'work', but it is ignored
for runtime enforcement and admission control.

Be consistent with it also when rebuilding root domains.
