Messages in this thread Patch in this message |  | | From | Vincent Guittot <> | Subject | [PATCH v5 1/7] sched: Introduce latency-nice as a per-task attribute | Date | Sun, 25 Sep 2022 16:39:02 +0200 |
| |
From: Parth Shah <parth@linux.ibm.com>
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.
Additionally, add debugging bits for newly added latency_nice attribute.
