    [PATCH] sched: TASK_NONINTERACTIVE · d79fc0fc
    Ingo Molnar authored
    This patch implements a task state bit (TASK_NONINTERACTIVE), which can be
    used by blocking points to mark the task's wait as "non-interactive".  This
    does not mean the task will be considered a CPU-hog - the wait will simply
    not have an effect on the waiting task's priority - positive or negative
    alike.  Right now only pipe_wait() will make use of it, because it's a
    common source of not-so-interactive waits (kernel compilation jobs, etc.).
