The table is linear. You could approximate this as: weight = nice * 51
since it is a linear scale and do the conversion in place.
Or, since the only place you are using the latency_to_weight is in
set_latency_offset(), can we drop the sched_latency_to_weight array
and simplify as follows?
static void set_latency_offset(struct task_struct *p)
{
s64 offset = p->latency_prio * get_sleep_latency(false);
p->latency_prio = (long)div_s64(offset, 40);

Over here can we make positive latency offsets also be evaluated
"versus other entity"?
It feels strange to have different rules for positive latency_offset
when comparing curr and se. IMO we should also factor in latency
requirements by comparing 2 positive nice values. It should be
relative even for positive values, just like regular nice IMO and not
have hidden meaning. If there is hidden meaning, it confuses the user
and requires documentation that most users will not read. Especially
because latency_nice shares the word "nice" with regular nice values.
