There are some parts of the patch that I do not understand (for example:
if I understand well, if the task is not throttled you set dl_new to 1...
And if it is throttled you change its current runtime and scheduling deadline...
Why?)
Anyway, I tested the patch and I confirm that it fixes the hang I originally
reported.
