Can anyone answer this simple LINUX question:

Assume all processes are type SCHED_RR. If they all have the same =
priority, when the running process' time slice expires and it enters the =
scheduler, how can any of the other processes ever be chosen? From what =
I see in the scheduler, all processes in the run queue are going to have =
their goodness compared against that of the running process. Only if =
there priority is higher, will they be chosen.

                                                                         =
                                   Thanks

Can anyone answer this simple LINUX=20 question:
