[PATCH] Force processes to non-realtime before mm_exit

Show all headers | View raw

Without this, a realtime process which has called mlockall exiting
causes large latencies for other realtime processes at the same or
lower priorities. This seems like a fairly common use case too, because
realtime processes generally want their memory locked into RAM.
