* yield - yield the current processor to other threads.

|
|
- * This is a shortcut for kernel-space yielding - it marks the
|
|
|
|
- * thread runnable and calls sys_sched_yield().
|

|
+ * Do not ever use this function, there's a 99% chance you're doing it wrong.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
+ * The scheduler is at all times free to pick the calling task as the most
|
|
|
|
+ * eligible task to run, if removing the yield() call from your code breaks
|
|
|
|
+ * it, its already broken.
|
|
|
|
+ *
|
|
|
|
+ * Typical broken usage is:
|
|
|
|
+ *
|
|
|
|
+ * while (!event)
|
|
|
|
+ * yield();
|
|
|
|
+ *
|
|
|
|
+ * where one assumes that yield() will let 'the other' process run that will
|
|
|
|
+ * make event true. If the current task is a SCHED_FIFO task that will never
|
|
|
|
+ * happen. Never use yield() as a progress guarantee!!
|
|
|
|
+ *
|
|
|
|
+ * If you want to use yield() to wait for something, use wait_event().
|
|
|
|
+ * If you want to use yield() to be 'nice' for others, use cond_resched().
|
|
|
|
+ * If you still want to use yield(), do not!
