[PATCH 0/9] Add MAX_NICE, MIN_NICE and NICE_WIDTH macros in prio.h.

[PATCH 0/9] Add MAX_NICE, MIN_NICE and NICE_WIDTH macros in prio.h.

[Dongsheng Yang]

Hi Peter,
	There are lots of hardcoding of -20 and 19 in kernel to represent
minimum and maximum of nice value currently. This patch set define three
macros in prio.h and replace some of the hardcoding with them.

	Please help to take a look at it, thanx :)

Dongsheng Yang (9):
  sched: Prio: Use DEFAULT_PRIO to define NICE_TO_PRIO and PRIO_TO_NICE.
  sched: prio: Add 3 macros of MAX_NICE, MIN_NICE and NICE_WIDTH in
    prio.h.
  sched: prio: Use NICE_WIDTH macro to avoid using of hard coding of 40
    and 20 in prio.h.
  sched: prio: Add spaces before and after operator of '-'.
  rcu: Use MAX_NICE to replace hard coding of 19.
  sched: Replace hardcoding of -20 and 19 with MIN_NICE and MAX_NICE.
  sys: Replace hardcoding of -20 and 19 with MIN_NICE and MAX_NICE.
  workqueue: Replace hardcoding of -20 and 19 with MIN_NICE and
    MAX_NICE.
  trace: Replace hardcoding of 19 with MAX_NICE.

[PATCH 1/9] sched: Prio: Use DEFAULT_PRIO to define NICE_TO_PRIO and PRIO_TO_NICE.

[Dongsheng Yang]

There is already a macro named DEFAULT_PRIO in prio.h, we can use it
to define NICE_TO_PRIO and PRIO_TO_NICE rather than use hard coding
of (MAX_RT_PRIO + 20).

[PATCH 2/9] sched: prio: Add 3 macros of MAX_NICE, MIN_NICE and NICE_WIDTH in prio.h.

[Dongsheng Yang]

Currently, there are lots of hard coding of 19 and -20 to represent
maximum and minimum of nice value.

This patch add three macros in prio.h for maximum, minimum and width
of nice value.

I get complaints about MAX_NICE being undefined, and I don't see any
definition of MAX_NICE in sched.h as of 3.14-rc2.  Am I looking in
the wrong place, or is this symbol not yet quite in mainline?

It is not.. its a proposed thingy. I'm still trying to make up my mind
on it.

No objection.  If this gets accepted, it will be routed through -tip,
I suppose?  Please feel free to add

Good catch! I'm all for using names instead of numeric values,
however, I wonder if it'd be more readable to use "clamp" instead?

niceval = clamp(niceval, MIN_NICE, MAX_NICE);

Good suggestion! This patch here is just to replace the numeric values with
a name defined in prio.h. So I will send another patch to make it more 
readable
with clamp after the patch set here applied. Is this plan ok to you?

I queued it; I wasn't convinced but people seem to like it, which is
good enough.

sched: Prio: Use DEFAULT_PRIO to define NICE_TO_PRIO and PRIO_TO_NICE.

There is already a macro named DEFAULT_PRIO in prio.h, we can use it
to define NICE_TO_PRIO and PRIO_TO_NICE rather than use hard coding
of (MAX_RT_PRIO + 20).

sched: prio: Add 3 macros of MAX_NICE, MIN_NICE and NICE_WIDTH in prio.h.

Currently, there are lots of hard coding of 19 and -20 to represent
maximum and minimum of nice value.

This patch add three macros in prio.h for maximum, minimum and width
of nice value.

Hi Peter.
     It seems the all other patches in this set were all applied to tip 
except this one.
What is the problem with the [9/9]? Is there any thing I can do?

Thanx

I might have just missed it; fail on my end. I'll try and sort it on
monday.

sched/prio: Use DEFAULT_PRIO to define NICE_TO_PRIO() and PRIO_TO_NICE()

There is already a macro named DEFAULT_PRIO in prio.h, we can use it
to define NICE_TO_PRIO and PRIO_TO_NICE rather than use hard coding
of (MAX_RT_PRIO + 20).

sched/prio: Add 3 macros of MAX_NICE, MIN_NICE and NICE_WIDTH in prio.h

Currently there is lots of hard coding to 19 and -20, to represent
maximum and minimum of nice values.

This patch add three macros in prio.h for maximum, minimum and width
of nice value, and uses it to remove hardcoded values in prio.h.
