From b0a9499c3dd50d333e2aedb7e894873c58da3785 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Sat, 14 Jan 2006 13:20:41 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] sched: add new SCHED_BATCH policy Add a new SCHED_BATCH (3) scheduling policy: such tasks are presumed CPU-intensive, and will acquire a constant +5 priority level penalty. Such policy is nice for workloads that are non-interactive, but which do not want to give up their nice levels. The policy is also useful for workloads that want a deterministic scheduling policy without interactivity causing extra preemptions (between that workload's tasks).
