Subject: whatever happened to making setpriority POSIX-compliant?
Date: Thu, 08 Dec 2011 14:07:31 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4EE11903.7060809@genband.com> (raw)
Back in 2008 there was a patch proposed to make setpriority() apply to
processes as a whole:
[PATCH] make setpriority POSIX compliant; introduce PRIO_THREAD extension.
Ulrich agreed to it in theory, Christoph Hellwig proposed a way to make
it backwards-compatible, and then nothing happened.
Is this something that we'd ever want to fix up, or is the current
behaviour good enough?
Chris
