[Bug 177713] Re: CFS in 2.6.24 kernel needs cpu_share adjustment for "niced" processes

[Daniel Hahler]

Dana, the "linux" task has been invalidated before.
Please refer to bug 188226 to improve the default kernel behaviour.
I just wanted to provide the workaround for boinc, which I'm using myself.
Dhaval has asked me to use the uevents interface instead, so I'll do a new upload for boinc later, which works around it by providing a udev rules file:
SUBSYSTEM=="kernel", DEVPATH=="/kernel/uids/*", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/usr/lib/boinc-client/udev-usr_share"
and a script to check if it's the boinc user's uid and assign the cpu_share accordingly (/usr/lib/boinc-client/udev-usr_share).

Like said before, this is only meant as a workaround for now and no
option for "downloaded programs" like e.g. folding at home. Let's wait for
a decision from the ubuntu-kernel team (other bug). Thanks.
