SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/2] sched/deadline: fix start high-res preemption tick for a non-running task

not sure I understand what the problem is here.

... enforce the budget? It means that when the budget is consumed the
task has to be throttled...

So, the task that is going to preempt curr is picked by
pick_next_task_dl(), that correctly starts the hrtick for this new task.

Maybe you can add more information about what you are seeing? A callpath
