EPERM operation not permitted while changing scheduling policy

[ssharma12]

Hi All,

I was trying to change set the new scheduling policy on centos7, Getting EPERM Operation not permitted error.
Please find the below scenario:

This is my python code which is trying to change the priority and setting the new scheduling policy from SCHED_OTHER TO SCHED_RR
On my VM when I'm running this script as a sudo it's working fine, it is able to change the policy.

But when I'm running this script from my centos7.8 Desktop while sched_setscheduler() calling this function getting EPERM error operation not permitted, I'm doing this also as a sudo user.


I got the resolution like when i changed the /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us from 950000 to -1 its working fine, on VM /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us=950000 and its working fine.

Can anyone help me here.

if err != 0:
