|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The run queue consists of four priority queues:
|
|
.Va itqueues
|
|
for interrupt threads,
|
|
.Va rtqueues
|
|
for realtime priority processes,
|
|
.Va queues
|
|
for time sharing processes, and
|
|
.Va idqueues
|
|
for idle priority processes.
|
|
Each priority queue consists of an array of
|
|
.Dv NQS
|
|
queue header structures.
|
|
Each queue header identifies a list of runnable processes of equal priority.
|
|
Each queue also has a single word that contains a bit mask identifying
|
|
non-empty queues to assist in selecting a process quickly.
|
|
These are named
|
|
.Va itqueuebits ,
|
|
.Va rtqueuebits ,
|
|
.Va queuebits ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Va idqueuebits .
|
|
The run queues are protected by the
|
|
.Va sched_lock
|
|
mutex.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn procrunnable
|
|
returns zero if there are no runnable processes other than the idle process.
|
|
If there is at least one runnable process other than the idle process, it
|
|
will return a non-zero value.
|
|
Note that the
|
|
.Va sched_lock
|
|
mutex does
|
|
.Em not
|
|
need to be held when this function is called.
|
|
There is a small race window where one CPU may place a process on the run queue
|
|
when there are currently no other runnable processes while another CPU is
|
|
calling this function.
|
|
In that case the second CPU will simply travel through the idle loop one
|
|
additional time before noticing that there is a runnable process.
|
|
This works because idle CPUs are not halted in SMP systems.
|
|
If idle CPUs are halted in SMP systems, then this race condition might have
|
|
more serious repercussions in the losing case, and
|
|
.Fn procrunnable
|
|
may have to require that the
|
|
.Va sched_lock
|
|
mutex be acquired.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn choosethread
|
|
returns the highest priority runnable thread.
|
|
If there are no runnable threads, then the idle thread is returned.
|
|
This function is called by
|
|
.Fn cpu_switch
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn cpu_throw
|
|
to determine which thread to switch to.
|
|
.Fn choosethread
|
|
must be called with the
|
|
.Va sched_lock
|
|
mutex held.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn setrunqueue
|
|
adds the thread
|
|
.Fa td
|
|
to the tail of the appropriate queue in the proper priority queue.
|
|
The thread must be runnable, i.e.\&
|
|
.Va p_stat
|
|
must be set to
|
|
.Dv SRUN .
|
|
This function must be called with the
|
|
.Va sched_lock
|
|
mutex held.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn remrunqueue
|
|
removes thread
|
|
.Fa td
|
|
from its run queue.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa td
|
|
is not on a run queue, then the kernel will
|
|
.Xr panic 9 .
|
|
This function must be called with the
|
|
.Va sched_lock
|
|
mutex held.
