Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] docs: sched-stats: fix misleading 'per-process' wording
Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2026 18:05:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260315170521.63794-3-xaum.io@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260315170521.63794-1-xaum.io@gmail.com>
/proc/<pid>/schedstat provides statistics for the specific task (thread)
identified by the pid, not an aggregation across all threads of a
process. Change 'per-process' to 'per-task' to avoid confusion.
