| |
Greetings to all!
I was trying to manage processes purely from user space for my research project and bumped into a policy that seems a little strange to me. Linux lets users only lower priority of their processes. Now, once the priority is lowered, you can't raise it back. Why not?! Why can't a user raise/lower priority within certain limits (say, default max priority for a given user)? Isn't it time to separate mechanism from policy in this case?
Sincerely, Anatoly Akkerman.
