Have you been using this and are referencing this because it is useful
or did you just happen to find it?
People have been complaining about this and I *think* it fails to work
in multi-CPU scenarios (it might work if the task is restricted to
single CPU usage). Not entirely certain. But complains, that I am
certain of.
There is replacement underway to utilize SCHED_DL for this as in
"Hierarchical Constant Bandwidth Server (HCBS)"
