sys_sched_get_priority_min 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual side of the group chat. This is the page for sys_sched_get_priority_min(9), and it's here to answer one very specific question: what's the smallest RT priority a scheduling class will let you use? No cap, that's the whole vibe. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

sys_sched_get_priority_min — return minimum RT priority. literally that. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

long sys_sched_get_priority_min (int policy );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• policy — scheduling class. That's the argument, bestie; it tells the syscall which scheduling class you're asking about. 🎀

🔥 RETURN 🔥

On success, this syscall returns the minimum rt_priority that can be used by a given scheduling class. On failure, a negative error code is returned. Slay for successful priorities, sigh for negative error codes. 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Kernel file: ./kernel/sched/syscalls.c — that's the source vibe check, iykyk. 💫
