Scheduler Problem ????

[Emmanuel Fleury]

Hi all,

I am running a 2.6.4 (with preemptible kernel activated). 
What I did is the following:

1) Compile the sched_test.c program (at the end of the mail):

[root@hermes sched]$ gcc -o sched_test sched_test.c

2) Set the priority of the root shell as the highest:
[root@hermes sched]$ ps
  PID TTY          TIME CMD
 1519 pts/0    00:00:00 bash
 2020 pts/0    00:00:00 ps
[root@hermes sched]$ chrt -f -p 99 1519

3) Run sched_test:
[root@hermes sched]$ chrt -f 10 ./sched_test 100
bye now.
  


Here during the execution of sched_test everything is frozen.


Did I do something wrong ????

sched_test.c
=============
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  int end_time;
  struct timeval now;

  if (argc < 2) 
    {
      end_time = 1;
    }
  else
    {
      end_time = atoi(argv[1]);
    }

  gettimeofday(&now, NULL);

  end_time += now.tv_sec + 1;

  do{
    gettimeofday(&now, NULL);
    
  }while (now.tv_sec < end_time);

  printf("bye now.\n");
  return 0;
}
==========
