Hi, I need a deeper understanding of priorities of linux processes and threads, especially on Linux PPC. I have done some good reading, but found no material to be complete and therefore I am raising a few questions below.
1) In Linux processes have a static priority level 0, with nice values -20 to +19. Then it has RT priority levels 1 - 99. My question is, do the nice values apply to all processes or do they apply only to priority 0? 2) How many total priority levels does the kernel have? On one hand, -20 is the highest priority, on the other hand +99 is the highest. How do these values converge? Please help me to answer these and depending on the reply I would shoot more questions. In case you have a comprehensive reading material to refer, please advise. Thanks, Ajay. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
