* the tasks may be useful for a wide variety of application fields, e.g.,
* multimedia, streaming, automation and control, and many others.

- * This variant (sched_attr) is meant at describing a so-called
- * sporadic time-constrained task. In such model a task is specified by:
+ * This variant (sched_attr) allows to define additional attributes to
+ * improve the scheduler knowledge about task requirements.
+ *
+ * Scheduling Class Attributes
+ * ===========================
+ *
+ * A subset of sched_attr attributes specifies the
+ * scheduling policy and relative POSIX attributes:
+ *
+ * @size size of the structure, for fwd/bwd compat.
+ *
+ * @sched_policy task's scheduling policy
+ * @sched_nice task's nice value (SCHED_NORMAL/BATCH)
+ * @sched_priority task's static priority (SCHED_FIFO/RR)
+ *
+ * Certain more advanced scheduling features can be controlled by a
+ * predefined set of flags via the attribute:
+ *
+ * @sched_flags for customizing the scheduler behaviour
+ *
+ * Sporadic Time-Constrained Tasks Attributes
+ * ==========================================
+ *
+ * A subset of sched_attr attributes allows to describe a so-called
+ * sporadic time-constrained task.
+ *
+ * In such model a task is specified by:
* - the activation period or minimum instance inter-arrival time;
* - the maximum (or average, depending on the actual scheduling
* discipline) computation time of all instances, a.k.a. runtime;
* than the runtime and must be completed by time instant t equal to
* the instance activation time + the deadline.
*
- * This is reflected by the actual fields of the sched_attr structure:
+ * This is reflected by the following fields of the sched_attr structure:
*
- * @size size of the structure, for fwd/bwd compat.
- *
- * @sched_policy task's scheduling policy
- * @sched_flags for customizing the scheduler behaviour
- * @sched_nice task's nice value (SCHED_NORMAL/BATCH)
- * @sched_priority task's static priority (SCHED_FIFO/RR)
* @sched_deadline representative of the task's deadline
* @sched_runtime representative of the task's runtime
* @sched_period representative of the task's period
* As of now, the SCHED_DEADLINE policy (sched_dl scheduling class) is the
* only user of this new interface. More information about the algorithm
* available in the scheduling class file or in Documentation/.
+ *
+ * Task Utilization Attributes
+ * ===========================
+ *
+ * A subset of sched_attr attributes allows to specify the utilization which
+ * should be expected by a task. These attributes allows to inform the
+ * scheduler about the utilization boundaries within which is safe to schedule
+ * the task. These utilization boundaries are valuable information to support
+ * scheduler decisions on both task placement and frequencies selection.
+ *
+ * @sched_util_min represents the minimum utilization
+ * @sched_util_max represents the maximum utilization
+ *
+ * Utilization is a value in the range [0..SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE] which
+ * represents the percentage of CPU time used by a task when running at the
+ * maximum frequency on the highest capacity CPU of the system. Thus, for
+ * example, a 20% utilization task is a task running for 2ms every 10ms.
+ *
+ * A task with a min utilization value bigger then 0 is more likely to be
+ * scheduled on a CPU which can provide that bandwidth.
+ * A task with a max utilization value smaller then 1024 is more likely to be
+ * scheduled on a CPU which do not provide more then the required bandwidth.
