Right now they wakeup at whatever they were when they weng to sleep (passing 0 to tsleep() results in no priority change). This way, pause() doesn't affect your priority at all. > If not, PZERO might be a more sensible default perhaps. > > PCATCH complicates this slightly since pause(9) currently returns > nothing, but I could see cases where users might want PCATCH. If people want to catch signals they can use tsleep() directly, but this intended for saying "I want to wait 100ms for the hardware to settle, but don't want to hog the CPU while I do it", and those places don't use PCATCH now. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ cvs-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
