Subject: [PATCH v4 5/7] sched/fair: Add trivial fair server
Date:   Thu, 31 Aug 2023 22:28:56 +0200

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

Use deadline servers to service fair tasks.

This patch adds a fair_server deadline entity which acts as a container
for fair entities and can be used to fix starvation when higher priority
(wrt fair) tasks are monopolizing CPU(s).

[ dl_server do not account for rt ]
