Subject: yield() in netlink_broadcast_filtered
Date: Fri, 06 Apr 2012 07:11:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F7EF9AC.8050305@zoho.com> (raw)
I see there is a yield being called from
netlink_broadcast_filtered.
.....
int netlink_broadcast_filtered(...)
{
....
if (info.delivered) {
if (info.congested && (allocation & __GFP_WAIT))
yield();
return 0;
}
return -ESRCH;
}
.....
But I don't see the point of calling it.
After the yield, there is nothing being done.
It just returns. So why yield ?
Why can't it simply return?
