1 | niro | 1175 | Instead of 'nice'ing ksoftirqd we can use the policy hint of SCHED_BATCH which |
2 | specifies it as not requiring low latency. This increases the cpu use possible | ||
3 | under very heavy softirq traffic (such as network loads) and decreases the | ||
4 | latency that might otherwise be seen (such as keyboard input under heavy cpu | ||
5 | load on slow machines). | ||
