Subject: acpi schedule() calls rely on taskswitch?
Date: Mon, 5 Sep 2011 17:46:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110905174621.1a4d2a31@aplus> (raw)

Hi,

I am currently testing an alternative CPU-scheduler and have problems when ACPI is activated.
If the scheduler does not change the currently running task after a call of schedule(), the kernel hangs with ACPI activated. The kernel has no problems with acpi=off.

Is there any ACPI code that relies on a taskswitch when calling schedule?

I saw this behaviour with linux-2.6.38.6 and an AMD Athlon II M320.

Thanks,

Markus
