Dear all:
I have some questions about kthread:
1. can we change kthread priority through user mode program?

Theoritically you can, but only if the priority not fixed and/or you
have required capability to do so

2. I found some functions that may be helpful.
sched_getscheduler
sched_setscheduler

When I use them in user mode, the return value of sched_setscheduler ?is fail.

did you do that as root? anything blocking you doing that withing
SELinux or AppArmor policy?

there is a thread talking about this,

What makes me confuse is "these 2 functions is used in user mode or
kernel mode?"

AFAIK they are user mode libc functions...
