Why does scheduler is called during "return of system call" ?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In Linux, Scheduler is invoked when

* Time slice of a process expires

* when the process blocks

* return of system call


Why does scheduler is called during "return of system call" ? What does
scheduler do when called during return of system call.

Please clarify my doubt.

Thanks and regards,
