Mmm... not entirely, at least not the value.

While working on v4 I've notice that:

   (1) task_struct::uclamp::effective::group_id

can be used for the back annotation we add in:

   [PATCH v3 11/14] sched/core: uclamp: use TG's clamps to restrict Task's clamps

using the additional field:

   (2) task_struct::uclamp_group_id

So, I'm updating that patch to re-use (1) instead of adding (2).

Regarding:

   (3) task_struct::uclamp::effective::value

it can be used to track the task's effective clamp value once I add
the discretization support discussed with Juri in:

   https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180809152313.lewfhufidhxb2qrk@darkstar/


So, I would say that in v4 I can try to see if and how we can guard
(some of) the effective values on !CONFIG_UCLAMP_TASK_GROUP
configurations...

Not really, good point!

I think I've just forgot them... which makes me notice that I still
have to improve the coverage for my tests on the default hierarchy.

I don't expect big difference, since the behaviors should be the
same but...

Thanks for pointing this out... will had the attributes in the
upcoming v4.

Cheers,
Patrick
