MAX_RT_PRIO - 1 Highest prio?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

First, I'm assuming that if I want my task to have the HIGHEST priority in the system (i.e. preempt any other task whenever it is put into the ready queue (assuming I have preemption turned on/configured)), I use sched_setscheduler (...) and use the sched_priority in sched_param for MAX_RT_PRIO -1. Is this correct?

Second, assuming that MAX_RT_PRIO-1 is the highest, would it be bad on an SMP/Hyperthreading system (that's using the migration thread balancing in 2.6.20.7) to set a task's priority to MAX_RT_PRIO -1 given the fact that the migration threads are already set to MAX_RT_PRIO -1? Should I be setting my task's prio to MAX_RT_PRIO-2 to not interfere with the load balancing?

Thanks,
Chris
