Subject: [PATCH] cyclictest: Make the default scheduling policy SCHED_FIFO
Date: Mon,  8 Mar 2010 02:18:24 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1268011104-22451-5-git-send-email-jkacur@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1268011104-22451-1-git-send-email-jkacur@redhat.com>

The default scheduling policy if unspecified should be SCHED_FIFO.

Before the change for example.
 sudo ./cyclictest
 policy: other: loadavg: 0.05 0.04 0.05 1/331 22367

 T: 0 (22367) P: 0 I:1000 C:   1321 Min:     14 Act:   89 Avg:   77 Max:     942

After the change
 sudo ./cyclictest
 defaulting realtime priority to 2
 policy: fifo: loadavg: 0.03 0.04 0.05 2/331 22387

 T: 0 (22387) P: 2 I:1000 C:    713 Min:     17 Act:   41 Avg:   81 Max:     161
