up to: a26979377bf3: sched/doc: Update documentation for base_slice_ns and CONFIG_HZ relation
A single update for the documentation of the base_slice_ns tunable to
clarify that any value which is less than the tick slice has no effect
because the scheduler tick is not guaranteed to happen within the set time
slice.
Thanks,
tglx

for desktop workloads. SCHED_BATCH is handled by the CFS scheduler module too.

Due to its design, the CFS scheduler is not prone to any of the "attacks" that
exist today against the heuristics of the stock scheduler: fiftyp.c, thud.c,
chew.c, ring-test.c, massive_intr.c all work fine and do not impact
