Subject: [PATCH -next v2 0/2] kernel/sys: reduce tasklist_lock usage get/set priorities
Hi,
The following are two patches that deal with removing the tasklist_lock entirely in
getpriority(2), and reducing the scope of it in setpriority(2). This also aligns
somewhat to what we already do with io priorities - although there both set and get
rely entirely on rcu.
Details in the changelog but this passes ltp tests. Please consider for v5.8.
Changes from v1:
- split get and set into two patches.
- improved changelog.
Thanks!

kernel/sys: only rely on rcu for getpriority(2)
kernel/sys: do not grab tasklist_lock for sys_setpriority(PRIO_PROCESS)
