Hi, this is not a regression. The CFS has the group scheduling feature enabled, which is utilized using the Fair User interface. What this means is that the root has the ability to set the importance of every user. Those tunables are accessible at /sys/kernel/uids/<uid>/cpu_share.
You can also have udev scripts which can be written as per http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/9/115 . [By default, root has twice the share of the other user] [Also this is a propotional bandwidth scheduler. That is if you have two users, giving user A 100 shares and User b 200 shares is the same as giving User A 1000 shares and User B 2000 shares.] Hope that helps Thanks Dhaval -- 2.6.24-2: Regression with idle cpu cycle handling https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177713 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
