Right, being able to control this interactivity knob programmatically seems like a useful thing. That way, the window manager can boost the interactivity of the foreground window for example. It does seem that figuring out that something is interactive in the scheduler is tough, there is just not enough information, whereas a higher layer may know this for a fact. I guess this reduces my argument to just keeping the interactivity setting separate from priority. -- Dimi. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
