Hi,
I use the following:

PIDs=$(ps -eLo pid,cls,rtprio,pri,nice,cmd | grep -i "irq" | awk '{
print $1; }' | xargs echo)
for i in $PIDs
do
ret=$(chrt -f -p 99 $i)
done

This will change the kernel thread associated with an irq handler to
RT FIFO prio 99.
Just change the script to your specific interrupt.

Hope it helps,
Rolando

I am writing a driver which has one kernel thread associated with it.
I want to change the priority of this thread, so that I can specify the
order in which it is scheduled following an interrupt.
I'm using:

sched_setscheduler(struct task_struct *, int, struct sched_param *);

but it doesn't work. I tried to change the priority from the init_module,
and also from the Kernel Thread, but there is no way.

Kernel version is 2.6.31-11-rt

What do I call to change a kernel thread priority?

Thanks you very much

I need to change the priority from inside the driver, when creating the kernel thread.
Your script is useful but it is done in user context,
Any other help please?
