From 6bc912b71b6f33b041cfde93ca3f019cbaa852bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 14:53:38 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sched: SCHED_OTHER vs SCHED_IDLE isolation Stronger SCHED_IDLE isolation: - no SCHED_IDLE buddies - never let SCHED_IDLE preempt on wakeup - always preempt SCHED_IDLE on wakeup - limit SLEEPER fairness for SCHED_IDLE.
