Browse Source 
Clarify what is the relationship between tasks' parameters and scheduling
parameters, explaining how to set the scheduling parameters so that all the
absolute deadlines of a task are respected.

the total utilization is smaller or equal than M then the response times of
the tasks are limited.
SCHED_DEADLINE can be used to schedule real-time tasks guaranteeing that
the jobs' deadlines of a task are respected. In order to do this, a task
must be scheduled by setting:
Finally, it is important to understand the relationship between the
SCHED_DEADLINE scheduling parameters described in Section 2 (runtime,
deadline and period) and the real-time task parameters (WCET, D, P)
described in this section. Note that the tasks' temporal constraints are
represented by its absolute deadlines d_j = r_j + D described above, while
SCHED_DEADLINE schedules the tasks according to scheduling deadlines (see
Section 2).
If an admission test is used to guarantee that the scheduling deadlines
are respected, then SCHED_DEADLINE can be used to schedule real-time tasks
guaranteeing that all the jobs' deadlines of a task are respected.
In order to do this, a task must be scheduled by setting:
- runtime >= WCET
- deadline = D
