Subject: [PATCH 4/5] media/ivtv: Reduce default FIFO priority
Date: Thu, 01 Aug 2019 13:13:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190801111541.858088180@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20190801111348.530242235@infradead.org

The ivtv driver creates a FIFO-99 thread by default, 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 ivtv work is the
most important work on the machine.

FIFO-1 gets it above all OTHER tasks, which seems high enough lacking
better justification.
