[PATCH 1/1] fix-policy-display-for-cyclictest.patch

From: Carsten Emde <hidden>
Date: 2010-03-08 08:40:29

If the policy is forced to SCHED_OTHER, since the priority no longer
fits into the SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR range, the policy display of
cyclictest is somewhat incorrect.

Display all policies.

Also make the variable policystr static; the condition
"if (!policystr)" is useless, otherwise.

In addition, place the priority logic before decrementing the priority;
a priority of 1 is incorrectly made SCHED_OTHER, otherwise.
