[PATCH] sched/rt: Clean up usage of rt_task()
From: Qais Yousef
Date: Tue May 14 2024 - 19:41:31 EST
rt_task() checks if a task has RT priority. But depends on your
dictionary, this could mean it belongs to RT class, or is a 'realtime'
task, which includes RT and DL classes.
Since this has caused some confusion already on discussion [1], it
seemed a clean up is due.
I define the usage of rt_task() to be tasks that belong to RT class.
Make sure that it returns true only for RT class and audit the users and
replace them with the new realtime_task() which returns true for RT and
DL classes - the old behavior. Introduce similar realtime_prio() to
create similar distinction to rt_prio() and update the users.
Move MAX_DL_PRIO to prio.h so it can be used in the new definitions.
Document the functions to make it more obvious what is the difference
between them. PI-boosted tasks is a factor that must be taken into
account when choosing which function to use.
Rename task_is_realtime() to task_has_realtime_policy() as the old name
is confusing against the new realtime_task().
No functional changes were intended.
