[PATCH v11 3/8] sched/core: Propagate parent task's latency requirements to the child task

From: Vincent Guittot
Date: Thu Feb 23 2023 - 14:11:27 EST


From: Parth Shah <parth@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Clone parent task's latency_nice attribute to the forked child task.

Reset the latency_nice value to default value when the child task is
set to sched_reset_on_fork.

Also, initialize init_task.latency_nice value with DEFAULT_LATENCY_NICE
value
