[PATCH 1/5] sched/pci: Reduce psimon FIFO priority

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Thu Aug 01 2019 - 07:18:21 EST


PSI defaults to a FIFO-99 thread, reduce this to FIFO-1.

FIFO-99 is the very highest priority available to SCHED_FIFO and
it not a suitable default; it would indicate the psi work is the
most important work on the machine.

Since Real-Time tasks will have pre-allocated memory and locked it in
place, Real-Time tasks do not care about PSI. All it needs is to be
above OTHER.
