Hi,
I have small doubt regarding the difference between tasklets and
taskqueues. As far as I understood both are used for queuing the tasks.
But tasklets are mainly used in bottom-half handlers for doing tedious
tasks inside the interrupt handler. Is there any difference other than
this?.
I will make it simple,
Task queues are well supported for the official kernel releases what we
have till now, tasklets are evolved when 2.4.kernel was born.
You can think tasklets have few additional wrappers upon the traditional
task queues. For many(i don't know how many) reasons, kernel programmers
prefers tasklets than task queues after 2.4...(mean to say "Use it").
As because in one of the document it says latest kernels doesn't have
bottom half handler concept. Is it correct?
The bottom halve concept is adopted with in the tasklets itself.
Any comments,
iqbal
