Subject: [PATCH v3] sched/uapi: Reflect the use of sched_runtime in fair scheduler
Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2024 01:07:49 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241120170749.23346-1-s921975628@gmail.com> (raw)

After the commit 857b158d, sched_attr::sched_runtime is used
to directly set a suggested request/slice length. Update the
comment and descriptions in sched/uapi to synchronize with this
change.
