Subject: [PATCH 1/5] sched/pci: Reduce psimon FIFO priority
Date: Thu, 01 Aug 2019 13:13:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190801111541.685367413@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20190801111348.530242235@infradead.org

PSI defaults to a FIFO-99 thread, reduce this to FIFO-1.

FIFO-99 is the very highest priority available to SCHED_FIFO and
it not a suitable default; it would indicate the psi work is the
most important work on the machine.

Since Real-Time tasks will have pre-allocated memory and locked it in
place, Real-Time tasks do not care about PSI. All it needs is to be
above OTHER.
