this is the crux of what this whole debate is about. for all of you
people who think about linux on multi-user systems with network
connectivity, running servers and so forth, this is clearly a given.
but there is large and growing body of machines that run linux where
the sole human user of the machine has a strong and overwhelming
desire to have tasks run with the characteristics offered by
SCHED_FIFO and/or SCHED_RR. are they still "privileged" operations on
this class of linux system? what about linux installed on an embedded
system, with a small LCD screen and the sole purpose of running audio
apps live? are they still privileged then?
Paul. Everyone agrees with you. I think. We just need to work out
the best way of doing it.
Would I be right in suspecting that we know what to do, but nobody has
stepped up to write the code? It's kinda looking like that?
