This is my current understanding of some different ways to schedule:
(1) Yield to a higher priority task (if there is one): cond_resched();
(2) Yield to the next task (if there is another one): set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING); schedule();
(3) Yield to all tasks: yield();
Notes: (1) Also yields if the current task's time quantum has expired. (3) Only guaranteed to yield to all tasks on the active list.
Corrections?
