Subject:   kernel process priority question...

What is the correct way to set a priority on a kernel thread ?

Is it legal to simply set the value like this:

        curthread->td_base_pri = PRIBIO;

Or should the detour around the rtprio stuff be used:

        struct rtprio rtp;

        rtp.prio = RTP_PRIO_MAX;
        rtp.type = RTP_PRIO_IDLE;
        mtx_lock_spin(&sched_lock);
        rtp_to_pri(&rtp, td->td_ksegrp);
        mtx_unlock_spin(&sched_lock);
