(By popular request as a new thread).
Hi people,
I've tried splitting my scheduler patch into smaller fragments, and
here's the result.
I changed a few things people mentioned over the last few days, such as
the following:
1) sys/proc.h now includes sys/tree.h, which should make libc builds
work again.
2) deadline generation now takes process priorities into account, as
suggested by ratchov@. The way it's done now, processes can use their
sleep priority as a way to lower their nice value for short periods of
time. I didn't notice any real changes, but I'd love to hear from people
with more demanding applications.
3) schedstate_percpu is private to the kernel now, as I couldn't find a
single occurrence of `struct schedstate_percpu` outside of /usr/src/sys
and it seemed cleaner not to expose kernel data to userland in such a
broad way.
The patches will follow as single emails.
