I don't want to discourage you from playing with SCHED_DEADLINE, but you should be aware of its limitations. Steven had a few good talks on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b1xM_j5uWE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDR-rgWopgM These talks are a year old and SCHED_DEADLINE work is still ongoing, so you should investigate the current status as well.
