If you're going to manage the time slice in nanoseconds why not do it

Do you mean the < NS_TICK thing? The spare change doesn't go away.
Not exactly. I mean "Why calculate time slice in jiffies and convert to
nanoseconds? Why not just do the calculation in nanoseconds?"
If it helps, the smpnice balancing code's use of static_prio_timeslice()
doesn't really care what units it's return value is in as long as
DEF_TIMESLICE is in the same units and contains the size of a time slice
allocated to a nice==0 non RT task.
Ok, thanks. I wanted to make very certain I couldn't screw it up.
Still, it's simpler to just leave it in ticks.
