Ok. What about changing the cookie of task T while holding the rq/pi locks, and
then doing a resched_curr(rq) for that RQ?
The holding lock ensures no migration of task happens, and resched_curr()
ensure that task T's rq will enter the scheduler to consider the task T's new
cookie for scheduling. I believe this is analogous to what
__sched_setscheduler() does when you switch a task from CFS to RT.

Agreed.
