SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR are both meant for real-time uses. I am aware that SCHED_RR can be preempted by time slicing. But say if I have one thread set to SCHED_FIFO, and another set to SCHED_RR, if both threads are ready to run, are they scheduled purely by priority? What if they have same priority?

The difference between SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR is that among tasks with the same priority, SCHED_RR performs a round-robin with a certain timeslice; SCHED_FIFO, instead, needs the task to explicitly yield the processor.
SCHED_BATCH: Scheduling batch processes (Since Linux 2.6. 16.) SCHED_BATCH can be used only at static priority 0. This policy is similar to SCHED_OTHER in that it schedules the thread according to its dynamic priority (based on the nice value).
SCHED_OTHER or SCHED_NORMAL is the default scheduling policy for Linux threads. It has a dynamic priority that is changed by the system based on the characteristics of the thread. Another thing that effects the priority of SCHED_OTHER threads is their nice value.
Change Scheduling Policy “SCHED_FIFO” with Priority To change the scheduling policy of a process and set its priority level, execute the below-mentioned option with the chart command. For example, the current schedule of the program is “Sched_Batch” and we want to change it to “Sched_Fifo”.
Conceptually, there is a list of runnable processes associated with each static priority level. These lists can contain both SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR processes - the two scheduling policies share the same set of static priorities.
When selecting a process to run, the scheduler takes the process at the head of the non-empty list with the highest static priority, regardless of the scheduling policy of that process.
The scheduling policies affect how the processes move within those lists. For SCHED_FIFO, once a process reaches the head of the list for a given priority it will stay there until it blocks or yields. For SCHED_RR, a runnable process that has exceeded its maximum time quantum will be moved to the end of the list for its static priority.
