Hi, I was determining a reason for the need_resched flag to be per process rather than being a global variable. I read that the sole reason is for performance. I could not understand how would having it (need_resched) per process result in a better performance? Having it as a global variable in the kernel address space would be just a matter of getting the value at a known address. On the other hand, having a per process copy sure results in unecessary memory occupancy.
