I'm not totally clear on how SCHED_RR and
SCHED_FIFO relate though.
Would (a) a SCHED_RR/50 thread be run ahead of a SCHED_FIFO/49 thread?
yes.
The scheduling policy only determines the ordering within the list of
runnable processes with equal static priority.
And would (b) a SCHED_RR/50 thread interrupt a running
SCHED_FIFO/49
thread?
yes.
All scheduling is preemptive: if a process with a higher static
priority becomes ready to run, the currently running process will be
preempted and returned to the wait list.
Both texts are quotes from `man 2 sched_setscheduler`.
