There’s probably nothing to patch: from my understanding this does not actually affect the scaling of the OS, it affects the throughput on heavily loaded systems, as min_slice is the delay before which a task can’t be preempted.

So it’s only relevant if the system has more tasks than cores, and if you ignore priorities and pinning. I assume these are the sort of mistakes people working with supercomputers would not be making, and residency would be a very carefully monitored to ensure the system is not thrashing.
