Hi kernel hackers, I went thru the ret_from_syscall code.( I believe that what gets called after a timer interrupt.)
What other things are checked before calling the scheduler (schedule()) The problem is that if i use udelay in my Timer function (the function thats called when a timer expires) the scheduler is not called sometimes, even though I set need_resched to 1. But if i dont use udelay() the scheduler gets called everytime.
Obviously there is something I am missing here.. can u ppl help me out (*Plead plead.. beg beg*)
This was observed with 1.3.62 and now with 1.3.91.
thanx balaji
