NAME

pthread_setschedparam, pthread_setschedparam - set/get
scheduling policy and parameters of a thread
 

SYNOPSIS

#include <pthread.h>

pthread_setschedparam(pthread_t thread, int policy,
                      const struct sched_param *param);
pthread_getschedparam(pthread_t thread, int *policy,
                      struct sched_param *param);

Compile and link with -pthread.

DESCRIPTION

policy specifies the new scheduling policy for thread. The supported values for policy, and their semantics, are described in sched_setscheduler(2).

The structure pointed to by param specifies the new scheduling parameters for thread. Scheduling parameters are maintained in the following structure:

struct sched_param {
    int sched_priority;     /* Scheduling priority */
};

As can be seen, only one scheduling parameter is supported. For details of the permitted ranges for scheduling priorities in each scheduling policy, see sched_setscheduler(2).

The pthread_getschedparam() function returns the scheduling policy and parameters of the thread thread, in the buffers pointed to by policy and param, respectively. The returned priority value is that set by the most recent pthread_setschedparam(), pthread_setschedprio(3), or pthread_create(3) call that affected thread. The returned priority does not reflect any temporary priority adjustments as a result of calls to any priority inheritance or priority ceiling functions (see, for example, pthread_mutexattr_setprioceiling(3) and pthread_mutexattr_setprotocol(3)).  

RETURN VALUE

ERRORS

ESRCH

No thread with the ID thread could be found.

pthread_setschedparam() may additionally fail with the following errors:

EINVAL

policy is not a recognized policy, or param does not make sense for the policy.

EPERM

The caller does not have appropriate privileges to set the specified scheduling policy and parameters.

POSIX.1-2001 also documents an ENOTSUP ("attempt was made to set the policy or scheduling parameters to an unsupported value") error for pthread_setschedparam().

NOTES

EXAMPLE

In the following run, the main thread sets its scheduling policy to SCHED_FIFO with a priority of 10, and initializes a thread attributes object with a scheduling policy attribute of SCHED_RR and a scheduling priority attribute of 20. The program then sets (using pthread_attr_setinheritsched(3)) the inherit scheduler attribute of the thread attributes object to PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED, meaning that threads created using this attributes object should take their scheduling attributes from the thread attributes object. The program then creates a thread using the thread attributes object, and that thread displays its scheduling policy and priority.

$ su      # Need privilege to set real-time scheduling policies
Password:
# ./a.out -mf10 -ar20 -i e
Scheduler settings of main thread
    policy=SCHED_FIFO, priority=10

Scheduler settings in aqattraq
    policy=SCHED_RR, priority=20
    inheritsched is EXPLICIT

Scheduler attributes of new thread
    policy=SCHED_RR, priority=20

In the above output, one can see that the scheduling policy and priority were taken from the values specified in the thread attributes object.

The next run is the same as the previous, except that the inherit scheduler attribute is set to PTHREAD_INHERIT_SCHED, meaning that threads created using the thread attributes object should ignore the scheduling attributes specified in the attributes object and instead take their scheduling attributes from the creating thread.

# ./a.out -mf10 -ar20 -i i
Scheduler settings of main thread
    policy=SCHED_FIFO, priority=10

Scheduler settings in aqattraq
    policy=SCHED_RR, priority=20
    inheritsched is INHERIT

Scheduler attributes of new thread
    policy=SCHED_FIFO, priority=10

In the above output, one can see that the scheduling policy and priority were taken from the creating thread, rather than the thread attributes object.

Note that if we had omitted the -i i option, the output would have been the same, since PTHREAD_INHERIT_SCHED is the default for the inherit scheduler attribute.
