:Hi !
:
:Some more thoughts/concerns.
:
:> Right. A simple set of function pointers in struct scheduler ought
:> to cover about 90% of what needs to be done. I'm sure that some functions
:> may also have to be migrated into or out of kern_switch.c to properly
:> compartmentalize the user process scheduling functions.
:And what about the stuff in kern_synch.c ? I'm pretty sure that *some*
:schedulers would like to have their own timer policy, but I rather would
:not like to touch this now.
:Is this something for stage 3 or even stage 4 ?
I think you are right. We can temporarily not worry about kern_synch.c,
but eventually we will want to abstract some of the API to give
schedulers more leeway.
