The SCHED_DEADLINE policy supports the (GRUB) Greedy Reclamation of Unused Bandwidth algorithm. This allows tasks to reclaim bandwidth that are left over by other deadline tasks that finish their work early, or voluntarily yield the cpu. Currently, chrt has no way to set the SCHED_FLAG_RECLAIM bit in the sched_flags field of the sched_attr structure. Add -G/--reclaim-grub option to allow users to toggle this feature using the deadline scheduling class.
