From d425b274ba83ba4e7746a40446ec0ba3267de51f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Con Kolivas Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2006 02:31:29 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] sched: activate SCHED BATCH expired To increase the strength of SCHED_BATCH as a scheduling hint we can activate batch tasks on the expired array since by definition they are latency insensitive tasks.
