.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
The \fIsched_setscheduler\fP() function shall set the scheduling policy
|
|
|
|
and scheduling parameters of the process specified by
|
|
|
|
\fIpid\fP to \fIpolicy\fP and the parameters specified in the \fBsched_param\fP
|
|
|
|
structure pointed to by \fIparam\fP,
|
|
|
|
respectively. The value of the \fIsched_priority\fP member in the
|
|
|
|
\fBsched_param\fP structure shall be any integer within the
|
|
|
|
inclusive priority range for the scheduling policy specified by \fIpolicy\fP.
|
|
|
|
If the value of \fIpid\fP is negative, the behavior
|
|
|
|
of the \fIsched_setscheduler\fP() function is unspecified.
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
The possible values for the \fIpolicy\fP parameter are defined in
|
|
|
|
the \fI<sched.h>\fP header.
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
If a process specified by \fIpid\fP exists, and if the calling process
|
|
|
|
has permission, the scheduling policy and scheduling
|
|
|
|
parameters shall be set for the process whose process ID is equal
|
|
|
|
to \fIpid\fP.
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
If \fIpid\fP is zero, the scheduling policy and scheduling parameters
|
|
|
|
shall be set for the calling process.
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
The conditions under which one process has the appropriate privilege
|
|
|
|
to change the scheduling parameters of another process are
|
|
|
|
implementation-defined.
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
Implementations may require that the requesting process have permission
|
|
|
|
to set its own scheduling parameters or those of another
|
|
|
|
process. Additionally, implementation-defined restrictions may apply
|
|
|
|
as to the appropriate privileges required to set a process'
|
|
|
|
own scheduling policy, or another process' scheduling policy, to a
|
|
|
|
particular value.
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
The \fIsched_setscheduler\fP() function shall be considered successful
|
|
|
|
if it succeeds in setting the scheduling policy and
|
|
|
|
scheduling parameters of the process specified by \fIpid\fP to the
|
|
|
|
values specified by \fIpolicy\fP and the structure pointed to
|
|
|
|
by \fIparam\fP, respectively.
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
|
|
the scheduling policy specified by \fIpolicy\fP is SCHED_SPORADIC,
|
|
|
|
the value specified by the \fIsched_ss_low_priority\fP member
|
|
|
|
of the \fIparam\fP argument shall be any integer within the inclusive
|
|
|
|
priority range for the sporadic server policy. The
|
|
|
|
\fIsched_ss_repl_period\fP and \fIsched_ss_init_budget\fP members
|
|
|
|
of the \fIparam\fP argument shall represent the time
|
|
|
|
parameters used by the sporadic server scheduling policy for the target
|
|
|
|
process. The \fIsched_ss_max_repl\fP member of the
|
|
|
|
\fIparam\fP argument shall represent the maximum number of replenishments
|
|
|
|
that are allowed to be pending simultaneously for the
|
|
|
|
process scheduled under this scheduling policy.
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
The specified \fIsched_ss_repl_period\fP shall be greater than or
|
|
|
|
equal to the specified \fIsched_ss_init_budget\fP for the
|
|
|
|
function to succeed; if it is not, then the function shall fail.
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
The value of \fIsched_ss_max_repl\fP shall be within the inclusive
|
|
|
|
range [1, {SS_REPL_MAX}] for the function to succeed; if
|
|
|
|
not, the function shall fail.
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
If the scheduling policy specified by \fIpolicy\fP is either SCHED_FIFO
|
|
|
|
or SCHED_RR, the \fIsched_ss_low_priority\fP,
|
|
|
|
\fIsched_ss_repl_period\fP, and \fIsched_ss_init_budget\fP members
|
|
|
|
of the \fIparam\fP argument shall have no effect on the
|
|
|
|
scheduling behavior.
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
The effect of this function on individual threads is dependent on
|
|
|
|
the scheduling contention scope of the threads:
|
|
|
|
.IP " *" 3
|
|
|
|
For threads with system scheduling contention scope, these functions
|
|
|
|
shall have no effect on their scheduling.
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
.IP " *" 3
|
|
|
|
For threads with process scheduling contention scope, the threads'
|
|
|
|
scheduling policy and associated parameters shall not be
|
|
|
|
affected. However, the scheduling of these threads with respect to
|
|
|
|
threads in other processes may be dependent on the scheduling
|
|
|
|
parameters of their process, which are governed using these functions.
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
If an implementation supports a two-level scheduling model in which
|
|
|
|
library threads are multiplexed on top of several
|
|
|
|
kernel-scheduled entities, then the underlying kernel-scheduled entities
|
|
|
|
for the system contention scope threads shall not be
|
|
|
|
affected by these functions.
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
The underlying kernel-scheduled entities for the process contention
|
|
|
|
scope threads shall have their scheduling policy and
|
|
|
|
associated scheduling parameters changed to the values specified in
|
|
|
|
\fIpolicy\fP and \fIparam\fP, respectively. Kernel-scheduled
|
|
|
|
entities for use by process contention scope threads that are created
|
|
|
|
after this call completes shall inherit their scheduling
|
|
|
|
policy and associated scheduling parameters from the process.
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
This function is not atomic with respect to other threads in the process.
|
|
|
|
Threads may continue to execute while this function
|
|
|
|
call is in the process of changing the scheduling policy and associated
|
|
|
|
scheduling parameters for the underlying kernel-scheduled
|
|
|
|
entities used by the process contention scope threads.
|
|
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
Upon successful completion, the function shall return the former scheduling
|
|
|
|
policy of the specified process. If the
|
|
|
|
\fIsched_setscheduler\fP() function fails to complete successfully,
|
|
|
|
the policy and scheduling parameters shall remain unchanged,
|
|
|
|
and the function shall return a value of -1 and set \fIerrno\fP to
|
|
|
|
indicate the error.
|
|
|
|
.SH ERRORS
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
The \fIsched_setscheduler\fP() function shall fail if:
|
|
|
|
.TP 7
|
|
|
|
.B EINVAL
|
|
|
|
The value of the \fIpolicy\fP parameter is invalid, or one or more
|
|
|
|
of the parameters contained in \fIparam\fP is outside the
|
|
|
|
valid range for the specified scheduling policy.
|
|
|
|
.TP 7
|
|
|
|
.B EPERM
|
|
|
|
The requesting process does not have permission to set either or both
|
|
|
|
of the scheduling parameters or the scheduling policy of
|
|
|
|
the specified process.
|
|
|
|
.TP 7
|
|
|
|
.B ESRCH
|
|
|
|
No process can be found corresponding to that specified by \fIpid\fP.
