unless I'm mistaken, there are 3 repetitions of this block in 05/16:

+ dl_se->deadline = rq->clock + dl_se->dl_deadline;
+ dl_se->runtime = dl_se->dl_runtime;


perhaps enclosing them into a function (e.g., reset_from_now() or
similar) may help to keep consistency...

Another thing: I cannot get the real difference between rq->clock and
rq->task_clock.
If task_clock is a kind of CLOCK_MONOTONIC thing that increases only
when the task (or any task) is scheduled, then you don't want to use
that here.
Here you need to set the new ->deadline to an absolute time, so I guess
the regular rq->clock is what you need, isn't it ?

Hope I didn't say too much nonsense.
