Subject: [PATCH 44/55] chrt: don't restrict --reset-on-fork, add more info to
0e1b67
 man page
0e1b67
0e1b67
The flag works (= kernel accepts it) for all scheduling policies
0e1b67
and sched_getattr() returns the flag for all policies.
0e1b67
0e1b67
There is no reason for userspace to be more smart than kernel or hide
0e1b67
the flag when it prints sched_getattr()/sched_getscheduler() results.

0e1b67
+do not inherit privileged scheduling policies.  After the reset-on-fork flag has been enabled,
