From: Ingo Molnar Date: Sat, 14 Jan 2006 21:20:41 +0000 (-0800) Subject: [PATCH] sched: add new SCHED_BATCH policy X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b0a9499c3dd50d333e2aedb7e894873c58da3785;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git [PATCH] sched: add new SCHED_BATCH policy Add a new SCHED_BATCH (3) scheduling policy: such tasks are presumed CPU-intensive, and will acquire a constant +5 priority level penalty. Such policy is nice for workloads that are non-interactive, but which do not want to give up their nice levels. The policy is also useful for workloads that want a deterministic scheduling policy without interactivity causing extra preemptions (between that workload's tasks).
