Perhaps a reasonable thing for a blocked thread that cannot > process events to do is to yield to one that can? The reason one decentralizes event processing into threads is so that once they are tasked to process some event they need not be concerned with event state. They are designed to process their event through to the end, then return to the top level and say "any more work for me?" - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
