It might be nice if it was possible to actively contribute your CPU
time to a child process. For example:
int sched_donate(pid_t pid, struct timeval *time, int percentage);
If you do this, and it has been requested many a times, then please
generalize it. We have the same issue with futexes. If a FUTEX_WAIT
call is issues the remaining time in the slot should be given to the
thread currently owning the futex. For non-PI futexes this needs an
extension of the interface but I would be up for that. It can have
big benefits on the throughput of an application.
