sched.h problem

sched.h problem

[Tomas Szepe]

hi,

I'm trying to get -ac to compile on sparc32 again.

At some point in time,

	long counter;
	long nice;

both disappeared from task_struct (def. in include/linux/sched.h).

However, arch/sparc/kernel/process.c::cpu_idle() tries to set
these properties for the idle task:

	current->nice = 20;
	current->counter = -100;
	init_idle();   

... which can't be done, of course.

The question is, how do I cope with this properly?

Have functions been introduced to adjust the appropriate
values in an instance of task_t when renicing? Or?

Thanks,
T.

2.4-ac only works on a few architectures (x86 and Alpha) due to the O(1)
scheduler changes...

Thanks, I'll have a look at the patch.

I'll send you my O(1) for sparc 2.5, adapt that.
