And thinking more about things; I'm not convinced the above patch is actually right. Do we really want to simply truncate all the attributes of the task? And should we not at least set sched_flags when there are non-default clamp values applied? See; that is I think the primary bug that had chrt failing; we tried to publish the default clamp values as !0.
