Where in the linux kernel source (2.6), the thread scheduler has been implemented? Searching the web shows that there should sched_fair.c but I can not find that in the source directory (the kernel source has been installed). Basically, I want to know which part of the code calculated the priorities of the available threads and select them for running? Regards, Mahmood
