Questions to answer for kernel module

• Where are all the different priority levels in the kernel?
  • We need to know so that the new scheduler class's priority falls between SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_CFS, but is also lower priority than SoftIRQ.
• How do we do we prevent CFS's load-balancing mechanism from scheduling CFS tasks onto our core, which will never get run and possibly stall the system?
• To what extent do the in-kernel threads actually introduce jitter?
