NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     setrunqueue, remrunqueue - manipulate system run queue

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <sys/proc.h>

     void
     setrunqueue(struct proc *p);

     void
     remrunqueue(struct proc *p);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The setrunqueue and remrunqueue functions manipulate the system queue of
     runnable processes. The system scheduler uses this queue to find the
     highest-priority process when a process switch occurs. These functions
     are machine-dependent in order to permit efficient implementation of priority-based
 process selection.

     The setrunqueue function places the given process on the system run
     queue. It is an error to call setrunqueue with a process that is not
     runnable or that is already on the system run queue or sleep queue.

     The remrunqueue function removes the given process from the system run
     queue. It is an error to call remrunqueue with a process that is not on
     the system run queue.
