[Devel] [PATCH 2/9] task group priority handling

Thu Apr 12 10:53:58 PDT 2007


To retain good interactivity, priority of a task-group is defined to be the
same as the priority of the highest-priority runnable task it has in its
runqueue. 

This means as tasks come and go, priority of a task-group can change.

This patch deals with such changes to task-group priority.

P.S : Is this a good idea? Don't know. Other option is to to have a static
      task-group priority which is decided by its quota.
