From f340c0d1a3f40fdcba69cd291530a4debc58748f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2005 16:40:42 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Tweak idle thread setup semantics This patch tweaks idle thread setup semantics a bit: instead of setting NEED_RESCHED in init_idle(), we do an explicit schedule() before calling into cpu_idle(). This patch, while having no negative side-effects, enables wider use of cond_resched()s. (which might happen in the stock kernel too, but it's particulary important for voluntary-preempt) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- init/main.c | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) (limited to 'init') diff --git a/init/main.c b/init/main.c index d324801729ba..b5e421e39ede 100644 --- a/init/main.c +++ b/init/main.c @@ -383,6 +383,13 @@ static void noinline rest_init(void) numa_default_policy(); unlock_kernel(); preempt_enable_no_resched(); + + /* + * The boot idle thread must execute schedule() + * at least one to get things moving: + */ + schedule(); + cpu_idle(); } -- cgit v1.2.3-59-g8ed1b
