From 6d63c275572d1e6f00d4fa154f16fbb0d8c2d2bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Wed, 7 May 2008 09:51:23 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] cfq-iosched: make io priorities inherit CPU scheduling class as well as nice We currently set all processes to the best-effort scheduling class, regardless of what CPU scheduling class they belong to. Improve that so that we correctly track idle and rt scheduling classes as well.
