Who would ever want to use/rely on this? It doesn't make any sense. And
therefore it shouldn't ever be considered time critical.

I just copy it from kernel/sched/core.c. Currently, it is used in fs/proc/array.c.

+static inline int task_nice(const struct task_struct *p)

Urgh, no. Just remove the macro already. Although arguably we should
remove ->static_prio and clean up that entire mess.


Oops, sorry for the noise. I am a newbie here, could you help to point out that
which tree is the latest version for sched. Thanx :)
