Message-ID: <202312191503+0800-wangjinchao@xfusion.com> Precedence: bulk X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org List-Id: List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Disposition: inline X-ClientProxiedBy: wuxshcsitd00600.xfusion.com (10.32.133.213) To wuxshcsitd00600.xfusion.com (10.32.133.213) The term 'core' in 'kernel/sched/' implies a relation to the kernel of sched, and at the same time, 'core' is used in 'core scheduling' to represent a CPU core. Both meanings coexist in the 'core.c' file and appear numerous times. This can be confusing for newcomers. -- Wang Jinchao
