By default, this means the≢0 to +19 nice range maps directly onto the 100 to 140 priority range. This priority space is shared with thenice values of SCHED_OTHER tasks they use the space from MAX_RT_PRIO to ( MAX_RT_PRIO + 40). By default, MAX_RT_PRIO is 100therefore, the defaultreal-time priority range is one to 99. Real-time priorities range inclusively from one to MAX_RT_PRIO minusone. The 2.6 kernel iscapable of meeting very stringent timing requirements. Despite not having a design that guarantees hard real-time behavior,the real-time scheduling performance in Linux is quite good. The Linux schedulingpolicy, however, does ensure real-time tasks are running whenever they arerunnable. Linux makes noguarantees on the ability to schedule real-time tasks. Conversely, hard real-time systems are guaranteed tomeet any scheduling requirements within certain limits. The real-time scheduling policies in Linux provide soft real-time behavior.Soft real-time refers to the notion that the kernel tries to scheduleapplications within timing deadlines, but the kernel does not promise to alwaysbe able to fulfill them. This ensuresthat a real-time process at a given priority will always preempt a process at alower priority. The kerneldoes not calculate dynamic priority values for real-time tasks.

That is, SCHED_RR is SCHED_FIFO with timeslicesit is a real-timeround-robin scheduling algorithm.īoth real-time scheduling policies implement static priorities. SCHED_RR is identical to SCHED_FIFO except that eachprocess can only run until it exhausts a predetermined timeslice. If a SCHED_FIFO task is runnable, all tasks at a lowerpriority cannot run until it finishes. Two or more SCHED_FIFO tasks at the same priority runround robin. When a SCHED_FIFO task becomes runnable, it will continue to rununtil it blocks or explicitly yields the processor it has no timeslice and canrun indefinitely. A runnable SCHED_FIFO task will always be scheduled over any SCHED_OTHERtasks.

SCHED_FIFO implements a simple first-in,first-out scheduling algorithm without timeslices. The normal, not real-time scheduling policy is SCHED_OTHER. Linux provides two real-time scheduling policies, SCHED_FF and SCHED_RR.
