And then I turn around and wipe the repository invalidating that link.
The sched/eevdf branch should be re-instated (with different SHA1), but
I'll include the patch below for reference.

Subject: sched/eevdf: Delay dequeue
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>
Date: Fri Sep 15 00:48:45 CEST 2023
For tasks that have negative-lag (have received 'excess' service), delay the
dequeue and keep them in the runnable tree until they're eligible again. Or
rather, keep them until they're selected again, since finding their eligibility
crossover point is expensive.
The effect is a bit like sleeper bonus, the tasks keep contending for service
until either they get a wakeup or until they're selected again and are really
dequeued.
This means that any actual dequeue happens with positive lag (serviced owed)
and are more readily ran when woken next.
