Subject: sched_yield() on 2.6.25
Date: Sun, 8 Jun 2008 13:34:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200806081334.10875.jozwicki@aster.pl> (raw)

Hello,
I observe strange behavior of sched_yield() on 2.6.25 (strange comparing to 
2.6.24). Here is the code (available at 
http://systest.googlecode.com/files/systest20080119.tgz):

------------------------------------------------------
timer_t timer;
sig_atomic_t cnt = 0;
long long sum = 0;
long times[21], min, max;
pthread_mutex_t mutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;
struct timespec ts = { 0, 0 };
pthread_t last_th = 0;

void *th_proc(void* p) {
    int n = SIZE(times) -1;
    pthread_t th;
        
    while(1) {    
	pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
	th = pthread_self();
	if (pthread_equal(th,last_th)) {
	    pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
	    sched_yield();
	    continue;
	}
	rt_timer_stop(&ts);
	last_th = th;
	if (cnt>=1) {
	    times[cnt-1] = ts_sum(&ts);
	    if (cnt <= n) {
		sum += times[cnt-1];
		box(times[cnt-1],min,max);
		#define uint unsigned int
		printf("[%u] Thread switching time: %ldns\n",(uint)th, times[cnt-1]);
	    }
	    else {
		printf("[%u] Thread switching time (not counted): %ldns\n",(uint)th, 
times[cnt-1]);
	    }
	    cnt--;
	}
        ....

Is this behavior expected?
