From e43379f10b42194b8a6e1de342cfb44463c0f6da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt Mackall Date: Sun, 1 May 2005 08:59:00 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] nice and rt-prio rlimits Add a pair of rlimits for allowing non-root tasks to raise nice and rt priorities. Defaults to traditional behavior. Originally written by Chris Wright. The patch implements a simple rlimit ceiling for the RT (and nice) priorities a task can set. The rlimit defaults to 0, meaning no change in behavior by default. A value of 50 means RT priority levels 1-50 are allowed. A value of 100 means all 99 privilege levels from 1 to 99 are allowed. CAP_SYS_NICE is blanket permission. (akpm: see http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0503.1/1921.html for tips on integrating this with PAM).
