Some kernel patch maybe? in earlier versions of 2.6, the kernel patch to allow SCHED_FIFO for everyone was incredibly simple. i recall kjetil posting a couple of lines, at most. whether this a security risk depends on which other parts of the kernel android uses. on regular linux, its no longer possible for any process to steal all the CPU time. there are files in the /proc/sys filesystem that control the amount available. note that patching the kernel in this way means that any process by any user can get SCHED_FIFO so its hardly clear that this is actually any better than using rlimits from a security perspective. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
