Of course .. I ment they are _almoust_ similar. >>No, that is creating a schedule unit (task) without an address space. Ok, I've already found that in kernel code ... and correctly understood. >>Surely you need some context switch when switching between runnable contexts. Hm. If the thread is running after it's sister or parent process - you do not have to switich the process context. Is this done in kernel?? Sorry if my thought are idiotic .. I'm a newby and trying to investigate the kernel.
