No, it's rather my misinterpretation of the syscall semantics.

It certainly mislead me to thinking about the sched_setattr calls as
requests of utilization being in the given interval (substituting 0 or 1 when
only one boundary is given, and further constrained by tg's interval).

I see your point, those are actually two (mostly) independent controls.
Makes sense now.
