Peter, Dario,
This is a little late in the day, but I think it's an important point to just check before this API goes final.
> SYNOPSIS > #include <sched.h> > > struct sched_attr { > u32 size; > > u32 sched_policy; > u64 sched_flags; [...] > }; > > int sched_setattr(pid_t pid, const struct sched_attr *attr); > > int sched_getattr(pid_t pid, const struct sched_attr *attr, unsigned int size);
So, I that there's a flags field in the structure, which allows for some extensibility for these calls in the future. However, is it worthwhile to consider adding a 'flags' argument in the base signature of either of these calls, to allow for some possible extensions in the future. (See http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/585415/7b905c0248a158a2/ ).
Cheers,
Michael
