I need to make the following changes to write system call...
sys_write()
{
if (some condition)
reschedule the process (preempt)
else
whatever write does
}
The problem is how do I reschedule the process ? By the time I know that any process issued a write(), I'm switched to kernel mode! Do I need to decrement the instruction pointer (eip register on x86) and reschedule it ? Or is there some better way to do the same ?
TIA
