Hello,

One option could be just using the same mapping as cpu.weight so that 100
maps to neutral, 10000 maps close to -20, 1 maps close to 19. It isn't great
that the value can't be interpreted in any intuitive way (e.g. a time
duration based interface would be a lot easier to grok even if it still is
best effort) but if that's what the per-task interface is gonna be, it'd be
best to keep cgroup interface in line.

As for whether a single value would fit the bill, it's again something which
should be answered for both task and cgroup based interface at the same
time. That said, my not-too-throught-through opinion is that a single value
for per-task / per-cgroup interface + system level knobs to fine tune how
that actually applies is likely enough and probably better than exposing
exposing a host of internal details to applications directly.

Thanks.
