Subject: [PATCH] SUNRPC: Don't allow low priority tasks to pre-empt higher
priority ones
Currently, the priority queues attempt to be 'fair' to lower priority
tasks by scheduling them after a certain number of higher priority tasks
have run. The problem is that both the transport send queue and
the NFSv4.1 session slot queue have strong ordering requirements.
This patch therefore removes the fairness code in favour of strong
ordering of task priorities.
