[PATCH] sched: alter_kthread_prio
Timeslice proportion has been increased substantially for -niced tasks. As
a result of this kernel threads have much larger timeslices than they
previously had.
Change kernel threads' nice value to -5 to bring their timeslice back in
line with previous behaviour. This means kernel threads will be less
likely to cause large latencies under periods of system stress for normal
nice 0 tasks.
