[PATCH] kernel/sched/core: adjust rt_priority accordingly when prio is changed

From: Song Chen
Date: Wed Feb 01 2023 - 05:01:06 EST


When a high priority process is acquiring a rtmutex which is held by a
low priority process, the latter's priority will be boosted up by calling
rt_mutex_setprio->__setscheduler_prio.

However, p->prio is changed but p->rt_priority is not, as a result, the
equation between prio and rt_priority is broken, which is:

prio = MAX_RT_PRIO - 1 - rt_priority

It's confusing to the user when it calls sched_getparam, which only
returns rt_priority.

This patch addresses this issue by adjusting rt_priority according to
the new value of prio, what's more, it also returns normal_prio for
CFS processes instead of just a zero.
