[RFC PATCH v5 11/29] sched/rt: Add {alloc/unregister/free}_rt_sched_group

From: Yuri Andriaccio

Date: Thu Apr 30 2026 - 17:41:24 EST


From: luca abeni <luca.abeni@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add allocation and deallocation code for rt-cgroups.

Declare dl_server specific functions (only skeleton, but no
implementation yet), needed by the deadline servers to be called when
trying to schedule.
