scheduler quesion:

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

 



in 2.5 Documentation/sched-design.txt:

 - run fork()ed children before the parent. Andrea has pointed out the
   advantages of this a few months ago, but patches for this feature
   do not work with the old scheduler as well as they should,
   because idle processes often steal the new child before the fork()ing
   CPU gets to execute it.


The question is what advantages has, to run the fork()ed children
before their parents?;)  (I can't imagine any...)
