That's broken, you cannot assume that a task is SCHED_OTHER like that.

Furthermore, you cannot simply change vruntime of any odd task, this
only works for current. Also, you really need to call schedule() after
doing this for it to have any immediate effect.

Also, if you mean delay to be ns, you need to scale it. Furthermore, I
would really really want to export this as GPL only (ok, preferably not
at all).

That said, I still thoroughly dislike this whole approach.

void sched_delay_yield(unsigned long ns)

	struct task_struct *curr = current;

	if (curr->sched_class == &fair_sched_class) {
		struct sched_entity *se = &curr->se;
		__update_curr(cfs_rq_of(se), se, ns);
		schedule();
		/* XXX: task accounting ? */
	} else
		sched_yield();
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(sched_delay_yield);
