Chris Wright and Arjan van de Ven have outlined a proposal to address

to me, I would choose the simplicity and better security of the LSM.
But their approach is adequate, if implemented in a timely fashion. I
would like to see some progress on this in addition to the scheduler
work. People still need SCHED_FIFO for some applications.


I think this is a pretty sane and minimally intrusive (for the kernel)
way to support what you want.
