Could you please clarify why > this choice is made? The TG values are always used to specify a _restriction_ on task-specific values. Thus, if you look or example at the CPU mask for a task, you can have a task with affinity to CPUs 0-1, currently running on a cgroup with cpuset.cpus=0... then the task can run only on CPU 0 (althought its affinity includes CPU1 too). Same we do here: if a task has util_min=10, but it's running in a cgroup with cpu.util_min=0, then it will not be boosted. IOW, this allows to implement a "nice" policy at task level, where a task (via syscall) can decide to be less boosted with respect to its group but never more boosted. The same task can also decide to be more clamped, but not less clamped then its current group.
