mx_job_set_relative_importance

NAME

job_set_relative_importance - update a global ordering of jobs

SYNOPSIS

#include <magenta/syscalls.h>

mx_status_t mx_job_set_relative_importance(
    mx_handle_t resource, mx_handle_t job, mx_handle_t less_important_job)

DESCRIPTION

NOTE: This is a low-level syscall that should not be used by typical user processes.

job_set_relative_importance() indicates to the kernel how important a job object is relative to another job.

Upon success, updates a partial ordering between jobs so that less_important_job will be killed before job in low-resource situations. If less_important_job is MX_INVALID_HANDLE, then job becomes the least-important job in the system.

If the new order pair would create a cycle, an existing order pair will be invalidated to break the cycle.

resource must be a handle to the root resource, and is used as proof that the caller has permission to perform this operation.

Since resource is used to control access to this operation, the handle rights (for any argument) do not matter.

RETURN VALUE

job_set_relative_importance() returns MX_OK on success. In the event of failure, a negative error value is returned.

ERRORS

MX_ERR_BAD_HANDLE resource or job is not a valid handle.

MX_ERR_WRONG_TYPE resource is not a resource handle, job is not a job handle, or less_important_job is not a job handle (if it is a value other than MX_INVALID_HANDLE).
