Hallo.
I posted to the jackit-devel list too, so apologies if you're seeing this again. No luck there...
jackd version 0.103.0 tmpdir /dev/shm protocol 16
2.6.22.1-rt9
Debian testing
I've
just noticed that I am unable to set jackd priority on the command
line. I have a script set up to use "sudo chrt" to change it, but when
I comment out that line in the script, jackd runs at 0 with schedule
"other".
My script:
sudo chrt -fp 82 `pidof "IRQ-16"`
jackd --realtime -P 70 -dalsa -P -p256 -n2 -r44100 &
sudo chrt -fp 70 `pidof "jackd"`
chrt -p `pidof "IRQ-16"`
chrt -p `pidof "jackd"`
exit
If I comment out the second sudo chrt line, the last line returns:
pid 5032's current scheduling policy: SCHED_OTHER
pid 5032's current scheduling priority: 0
otherwise it is SCHED_FF and 70.
My kernel has:
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is not set
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is not set
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_DESKTOP is not set
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_SOFTIRQS=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_HARDIRQS=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=y
# CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU is not set
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y
/etc/security/limits.conf has:
@audio - nice -10
@audio - rtprio 99
@audio - memlock 4000000 (someone on the jack list suggested that my previous value "unlimited" was not recognized, so I stuck this in but no change)
and user "chuckk" is in group "audio".
Lastly, the output from my script when the second sudo chrt line is commented out:
------------------------------
