    [$] Fixing SCHED_IDLE
    The Linux kernel scheduler is a complicated beast
    and a lot of effort goes into improving it during every kernel release
    cycle. The 5.4 kernel release includes a few improvements to the existing
    SCHED_IDLE scheduling policy that can help users improve the
    scheduling latency of their high-priority (interactive) tasks if they use
    the SCHED_IDLE policy for the lowest-priority (background)
    tasks. Read on for a description of this work contributed by Viresh Kumar.
