Subject: [PATCH] nice and rt-prio rlimits
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e43379f10b42194b8a6e1de342cfb44463c0f6da;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] nice and rt-prio rlimits

Add a pair of rlimits for allowing non-root tasks to raise nice and rt
priorities. Defaults to traditional behavior. Originally written by
Chris Wright.

The patch implements a simple rlimit ceiling for the RT (and nice) priorities
a task can set.  The rlimit defaults to 0, meaning no change in behavior by
default.  A value of 50 means RT priority levels 1-50 are allowed.  A value of
100 means all 99 privilege levels from 1 to 99 are allowed.  CAP_SYS_NICE is
blanket permission.

(akpm: see http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0503.1/1921.html for
tips on integrating this with PAM).
