Subject: Re: [PATCH] preempt abstraction

Message-ID: <12517.1010529321@warthog.cambridge.redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: Message from Daniel Phillips <phillips@bonn-fries.net>  of "Tue, 08 Jan 2002 23:12:02 +0100." <E16O4TT-0000BS-00@starship.berlin>


The choice of need_preempt() and preempt() came out of discussion with a
number of people. However, I can see the points being made. I have to admit,
I've not come across conditional_schedule in the main kernel, so I guess this
is an Andrea specific.

I think, actually, I prefer yield/need_yield or maybe yield and
yield_requested as this is consistent with things like sched_yield.
