From a2f5c9ab79f78e8b91ac993e0543d65b661dd19b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Darren Hart Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2011 13:04:33 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Allow SCHED_BATCH to preempt SCHED_IDLE tasks Perform the test for SCHED_IDLE before testing for SCHED_BATCH (and ensure idle tasks don't preempt idle tasks) so the non-interactive, but still important, SCHED_BATCH tasks will run in favor of the very low priority SCHED_IDLE tasks.
