>Description:
Looking at the manual pages for the various realtime components we have
like schedctl, it's not obvious that SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR are realtime
scheduling classes and that SCHED_OTHER is not. To understand that you
have to have spent a while reading the POSIX spec first.
Also, we don't have a description of:
- each class as defined by POSIX, in brief
- if any class takes priority over another
- will cause kernel preemption
>How-To-Repeat:
Look at a few of the manual pages.
>Fix:
Spend some time writing documentation. :-)
