Subject: [PATCH] preempt abstraction
Date: Tue, 08 Jan 2002 17:40:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <10940.1010511619@warthog.cambridge.redhat.com> (raw)
The following patch abstracts access to need_resched:
ftp://infradead.org/pub/people/dwh/preempt-252p10.diff.bz2
It replaces most C-source read accesses to it with need_preempt() which
returns true if rescheduling is necessary.
It also replaces instances of:
if (current->need_resched())
schedule();
With:
preempt();
It doesn't (or at least shouldn't) do anything else.
Cheers,
David
