Hi! I had recently requested info on Process/Processor scheduling, and was told it wasn't yet possible to do that. Going one higer level of abstraction, i'd like to build some sort of arbitration network to be between the various tasks and the task schedular. The task schedular is invoked be the task_init() call. I have a set of tasks some of which are in TASK_BLOCK state. The latter ones are those which have a higer priority in my system, and i'd like the task schedular to treat them as such. Can i in some way influence the schedular, without having to resort to synchronizing blocked and unblocked tasks using events, semaphores or what have you? Any suggestions, comments etc are welcome. Cheers micky
