Then it delves on the possible implementation of Scheduler activations in Linux. Though I know that scheduler activations are not part of the present kernel. Could anyone provide BOTH the short and long answer to a) If they were ever implemented? b) Reasons for rejection? TIA -- Imanpreet Singh Arora
