One minor suggestion, perhaps scale_rt_capacity could be renamed more accurately as scale_rt_dl_capacity as part of the series.
I'm not sure that it's worth changing. The 1st reason is that deadline is a RT sched class like fifo and rr but with more description of the task constraints. Then, scale_rt_capacity can also be impacted by irq and steal time so if we want to be precise, it should become scale_rt_dl_irq_steal_capacity which is a bit long IMHO.
RT and DL are still separate sched classes though... But I agree that a different name would be more appropriate given irq and steal time. Perhaps I'll float a patch if there's a chance later on.
