Setting kernel thread priority

Setting kernel thread priority

[Chinmaya Mishra]

Hi,

I am using linux kernel 2.6.10.
In a kernel module i am calling two functions in two
kernel threads using the api,

kernel_thread((void *)funName, NULL, CLONE_KERNEL);

Is there any procedure/apis available to set the thread priority?
Please help . . . . .

Thanks in advance.
Chinmaya

My a FAQ! Your kernel version uses:
 	set_user_nice(current, PRIORITY); from __inside__ the kernel
thread (like one of the first things it does upon startup).
