Message-ID: <4E4CB5D5.7090906@netscout.com> To: kernelnewbies@lists.kernelnewbies.org List-Id: kernelnewbies.lists.kernelnewbies.org Hi, I am not too familiar with Linux scheduler. What I could understand theoretically is - the interactive processes get advantage (-5) in priority. And hence the effective priority is higher. Query: Is this true for realtime processes ( with SCHED_FIFO/SCHED_RR policy) as well? Could the realtime processes be I/O bound or interactive? -- Thanks, Nilesh
