Subject: [PATCH 44/55] chrt: don't restrict --reset-on-fork, add more info to
439b44
 man page
439b44
439b44
The flag works (= kernel accepts it) for all scheduling policies
439b44
and sched_getattr() returns the flag for all policies.
439b44
439b44
There is no reason for userspace to be more smart than kernel or hide
439b44
the flag when it prints sched_getattr()/sched_getscheduler() results.
