[PATCH 5/5] spi: Reduce kthread priority

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Thu Aug 01 2019 - 07:18:38 EST


The SPI thingies request FIFO-99 by default, reduce this to FIFO-50.

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