    [$] Scheduler medley: time-slice extension, sched_ext deadline servers, and LRU batching.

    Description:
    Decades after its creation, the Linux CPU scheduler remains an area
    of active development; it is difficult to find a time slice to cover every interesting scheduler change. In an attempt to catch up, the time has come
    to round-robin through a few patches that have been circulating recently.
    The work at hand focuses on a new attempt at time-slice extension, the
    creation of a deadline server for sched_ext tasks, and keeping tasks on isolated CPUs from being surprised by LRU batching.
