Shouldn't the rcu_read_unlock() be after the check of is_timer_slack_allowed()?

OK, I've got questions, are the following possible
1. Assign a task to a cgroup based on timer slack, it is accepted
based on min and max values
2. We update the slack
Can't this be bad for some tasks, is there a way for a task to prevent
the max slack from being updated?
2. Can there be an overlap in the ranges?
