From 78f2c7db6068fd6ef75b8c120f04a388848eacb5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2008 21:08:27 +0100 Subject: sched: SCHED_FIFO/SCHED_RR watchdog timer Introduce a new rlimit that allows the user to set a runtime timeout on real-time tasks their slice. Once this limit is exceeded the task will receive SIGXCPU. So it measures runtime since the last sleep. Input and ideas by Thomas Gleixner and Lennart Poettering.
