Hello List,
This is what I am trying to do in linux kernel. When some event occurs; Process X wants to tell process Y to un-schedule itself(Y) [ and change state from "running or ready to run" to "not ready to run until told otherwise" ]. Process X will take care of waking up Y later.One approach probably is to set "need_resched" for process Y so that schedular picks another process at the first opportunity. Is there any other alternative ? Is it safe to do this from interrupt context instead of process X's context ?
Interrupt context is a better alternative. Make changes around the code which picks up the next process for execution. The waking up would be taken care automatically in that case.
Also, this approach would be least disruptive if compared with the other alternative you listed out.
Mulyadi,
Any help?
