Hi,

the commit message explains this returns the "most recent" deadline,
but the doc here forgets to mention that. I suppose that means the
most recently set deadline and not the deadline furthest forward in
time (largest value).

Is "most recent" the appropriate behaviour when multiple deadlines have
been set? Would you not want the earliest deadline set so far instead?

What if none has been set?

Shouldn't this hunk be in patch 5 instead?

What's duration_ns? Maybe ns_until_my_deadline would be more clear that
it is something userspace freely chooses?
