as far as i know there are two priorites which linux scheduler takes care of. on which is static another dynamic. the scheduling decisions are based on the dynamic priority.
the dynamic priority keeps changing and is calculated from the static priority and the statistics of the process.
the linux scheduler favous i/o bound processes, so it dyanmically calculated priorites in order to implement its policy .
write back if your doubt is still there
