Subject: [PATCH] sched: make task_nice available to non-GPL modules
Date: Wed, 05 Mar 2008 16:56:37 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080305215637.7767.99635.stgit@dv.roinet.com> (raw)

The API is trivial, and so is the implementation.  Linux priorities are
exposed to the userspace, so nobody should claim that software aware of
Linux priorities is a derived work of the kernel.

The complementary function set_user_nice() is available to non-GPL
modules.  If the module can set the priority, it should be able to read
it back.
