I am going through a nice book "Linux Kernel Development" By Robert Love and having query regarding a statement mentioned in it. 1. When a process's timeslice runs out, the process is considered expired. A process with no timeslice is not eligible to run until all other processes have exhausted. In above statement, I assume that author is mentioning a if a process timeslice reaches minimun i.e. 10ms, a process/task is moved from an active array to expired array.Process with 0 timeslice means that it is no longer interested in getting processor time and it has completed its execution and hence expired array will be having those tasks which will be having timeslice of 10ms, which is a minimum value [ least priority]. Please anyone let me whether I am right in my understanding. Thanks & Regards Dinesh ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
