Messages in this thread Patch in this message | | | From | Parth Shah <> | Subject | [PATCH v4 1/4] sched: Introduce latency-nice as a per-task attribute | Date | Mon, 24 Feb 2020 14:29:15 +0530 |
| |
Latency-nice indicates the latency requirements of a task with respect to the other tasks in the system. The value of the attribute can be within the range of [-20, 19] both inclusive to be in-line with the values just like task nice values.
latency_nice = -20 indicates the task to have the least latency as compared to the tasks having latency_nice = +19.
The latency_nice may affect only the CFS SCHED_CLASS by getting latency requirements from the userspace.
