I'd start by enabling sched:sched_pi_setprio (or adding trace_printks
around there to confirm your suspicion). Once that is confirmed, I'd try
to look at update_curr_dl::throttle and verify if the misbehaving task
was indeed throttled at some point; it shouldn't be, because dl_boosted
flag should be set for it at this point (maybe check this condition as
well).

Best,

Juri
