I am trying to understand if kernel thread are always higher priority<br>
then user thread.<br>
<br>
Say, a kernel thread (created with kthread_create with SCHED_FIFO and<br>
given priority x), and user thread (created with pthread_create was<br>
created with SCHED_FIFO and given priority y), and priority of pthread<br>
is higher than kthread, would still the kernel thread get into<br>
scheduler before the user thread ?<br>
How is the scheduler decides which get first into the running state ?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>

So in your case, unless one of them voluntarily give up his time slice, or preempted by certain case, thread with higher priority will be picked by scheduler first<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">CMIIW <br clear="all"></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">regards,<br><br>Mulyadi Santosa<br>Freelance Linux trainer and consultant<br><br>blog: <a href="http://the-hydra.blogspot.com" target="_blank">the-hydra.blogspot.com</a><br>training: <a href="http://mulyaditraining.blogspot.com" target="_blank">mulyaditraining.blogspot.com</a></div>
