Subject: [PATCH 0/1 ,v3] sched: fix typo in sched-rt-group.txt file



Dear Ingo,

I made 2 patch files again about static prioriy levels to map between kernel-space
and usper-space according to opinions and helps from Peter, Ingo, Steven.

Fix static priority related range and chart map(userspace/kernelspace) of ftrace.
  - about chart map of static priority  in ftrace.txt file
  - about static priority levels(range) in sched-rt-group.txt file

Please, drop my previous version and merge this. 

Changelog since V3
 o Modified kernel static priority to map user rt priority ( 99 ~ 1).
    - Archives: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=124279443511114&w=2
    - before  : Kernel priority: 0(high) to 99(low)  --> user RT priority 99(high) to 1(low)
    - after   : Kernel priority: 0(high) to 98(low)  --> user RT priority 99(high) to 1(low)


Changelog since V2
 o Modified description static priority(SCHED_FIFO,SCHED_RR) levels of user-space using sched_setscheduler(2)
     - Archives: http://marc.info/?t=124211992800003&r=1&w=2     
     - before  : Kernel priority: 0(high) to 99(low)  --> user RT priority 99(high) to 0(low)
     - after   : Kernel priority: 0(high) to 99(low)  --> user RT priority 99(high) to 1(low)
 o Modified static priority related quick chart of sched_switch section in ./Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt file


Changelog since V1
 o Changed static priority levels of kernel-space. ( 0 ~ 139 --> 0-99 ) in sched-rt-group.txt file

    sched: fix typo in sched-rt-group.txt file
    
    Fix typo about static priority's range.

    * Kernel Space priority 0(high) to 98(low)   --> User Space RT priority 99(high) to 1(low) with SCHED_RR or SCHED_FIFO
    * Kernel Space priority 99 --> sched_priority is not used in scheduling decisions (it must be specified as 0)
    * Kernel Space priority 100(high) to 139(low)--> User Space nice -20(high) to 19(low)

    For processes scheduled under one of the normal scheduling policies
    (SCHED_OTHER, SCHED_IDLE, SCHED_BATCH), sched_priority is not used in
    scheduling decisions (it must be specified as 0).

    Processes scheduled under one of the real-time policies(SCHED_FIFO,SCHED_RR)
    have a sched_priority value in the range 1 (low) to 99 (high).

 Implementing SCHED_EDF might take a while to complete. Priority Inheritance is
 the biggest challenge as the current linux PI infrastructure is geared towards
-the limited static priority levels 0-139. With deadline scheduling you need to
+the limited static priority levels 0-99. With deadline scheduling you need to
 do deadline inheritance (since priority is inversely proportional to the
 deadline delta (deadline - now).
