To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org Precedence: bulk X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi, Before calling get_pid the state of child is set to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and after get_pid it is changed to TASK_RUNNNING.Why ?? Is it possbile that a process may leave the CPU during get_pid? Can any body tell me how linux is ensuring that scheduling can not happen when a process is executing in a system call and timer interrupt has occured. Please do a CC to me also.
