rtapi_prio - thread priority functions

int rtapi_prio_highest() |

int rtapi_prio_lowest() |

int rtapi_prio_next_lower(int prio) |

prio |
A value returned by a prior rtapi_prio_xxx call |
The rtapi_prio_xxxx functions provide a portable way to set task priority. The mapping of actual priority to priority number depends on the RTOS. Priorities range from rtapi_prio_lowest to rtapi_prio_highest, inclusive. To use this API, use one of two methods:
|
1) |
Set your lowest priority task to rtapi_prio_lowest, and for each task of the next lowest priority, set their priorities to rtapi_prio_next_higher(previous). | ||
|
2) |
Set your highest priority task to rtapi_prio_highest, and for each task of the next highest priority, set their priorities to rtapi_prio_next_lower(previous). |
N.B. A high priority task will preempt or interrupt a lower priority task. Linux is always the lowest priority!
Call these functions only from within init/cleanup code, not from realtime tasks.
Returns an opaque real-time priority number.
