hi all,
i have a basic doubt about premptive vs non - premptive
kernels . In a kernel like 2.4 which is non-premptive a while(1) ;
inside the code of my driver (for an example) would hang the system.
But a premptive kernel like 2.6 ( i dont have it ) shouldnt hang the
system, since it wud prempt and get to the next task .
if what i asssumed above is right .
when does the kernel get out of the context of the while loop (mentioned
in the example) and switch to execute another task in a premptive
i wish, if you could change the subject line before you post your own

cheers,
