But short term I don't see any other solution than stop testing
sched_setattr because it does not check arguments enough to prevent
system misbehavior. Which is a pity because syzkaller has found some
bad misconfigurations that were oversight on checking side.
Any other suggestions?
Keep the times down to a few seconds?  Of course, that might also
fail to find interesting bugs.
Right, if syzcaller can put a limit on the period/deadline parameters
(and make sure to not write "-1" to
/proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us) then per the in-kernel
access-control should not allow these things to happen.
