Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: Drop FIFO policy in exit path
Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2011 13:40:05 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.02.1109121337461.2723@ionos> (raw)

When the watchdog thread exits it runs through the exit path with FIFO
priority. There is no point in doing so. Switch back to SCHED_NORMAL
before exiting.
