I really dislike it, as you indicated, you now want priority too.. It seems the problem is that we normally don't consider work done by kernel threads for user processes part of that process. I'm not sure what work you're doing, but I'm pretty sure there's similar things already in the kernel -- think about the work done by encryption threads for encrypted sockets and stuff. If you want proper containment of work caused by a process, I'd suggest you start by looking at curing the general problem, instead of special casing this one case. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
