Moreover there are DL tasks now. task_prio() has to stay like it is to guarantee compatibility with the /proc/<pid>/stat priority field: # cat /proc/<pid>/stat | awk '{ print $18; }' Signed-off-by: Dietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggemann@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210128131040.296856-4-dietmar.eggemann@xxxxxxx --- kernel/sched/core.c | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/sched/core.c b/kernel/sched/core.c index 625ec1e..be3a956 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/core.c +++ b/kernel/sched/core.c @@ -5602,8 +5602,12 @@ SYSCALL_DEFINE1(nice, int, increment) * @p: the task in question. * * Return: The priority value as seen by users in /proc. - * RT tasks are offset by -200.
