I would like to lower the priority of a background thread in my kext.
You probably don't really want to do that literally. What's the problem you're trying to solve?
I have a background thread that is in contention with System IO requests to the kext. While the background thread is working system IO requests and chunks of the background work are serialized to prevent errors from occurring. If there is contention between posting an IO request to the queue versus posting a process chunk request, then I want the IO request to win. Further testing is showing that this is probably not the real problem with my performance. However, I am still interested to know what can be done if this indeed was a problem. ...Duane _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
