I would not recommend putting proc0 wakeup code in your time-critical critical section code. It's a terrible hack and an abuse of the purpose of the critical section code and right smack in the middle of a very important critical path that effects the performance of the *entire* system. I would also not recommend having a TDP_WAKEPROC0 flag for curproc, that's a terrible hack and a misplaced flag (the flag, if you have one at all, should be global or per-cpu, and certainly *NOT* placed in the current thread's flagset!). It seems to me the proper solution is to use the same codepath that woke up proc0 originally (in 4.x), which in 5.x/6.x has now become sleepq_broadcast(). Check to see if proc0 needs to be woken up there, in the code that moves the threads from the sq to the temporary list, and if one of them needs proc0 just flag it and then lock whatever sleepq list proc0 is on and pull it off too before you hit the sleepq_resume_thread() loop. -MattReceived on Mon Oct 11 2004 - 13:37:43 UTC
