It might be nice if it was possible to actively contribute your CPU time to a child process. For example: int sched_donate(pid_t pid, struct timeval *time, int percentage);
If you do this, and it has been requested many a times, then please generalize it. We have the same issue with futexes. If a FUTEX_WAIT call is issues the remaining time in the slot should be given to the thread currently owning the futex. For non-PI futexes this needs an extension of the interface but I would be up for that. It can have big benefits on the throughput of an application. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
