    Subject[PATCH v6 01/16] sched/core: Allow sched_setattr() to use the current policy
    Date
    The sched_setattr() syscall mandates that a policy is always specified.
    This requires to always know which policy a task will have when
    attributes are configured and it makes it impossible to add more generic
    task attributes valid across different scheduling policies.
    Reading the policy before setting generic tasks attributes is racy since
    we cannot be sure it is not changed concurrently.

    Introduce the required support to change generic task attributes without
    affecting the current task policy. This is done by adding an attribute flag
    (SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_POLICY) to enforce the usage of the current policy.

    This is done by extending to the sched_setattr() non-POSIX syscall with
    the SETPARAM_POLICY policy already used by the sched_setparam() POSIX
    syscall.
