进程调度-【转载】schedule_timeout和schedule_timeout_interruptible让出CPU

我们在驱动编程时，如果程序内使用了死循环，则一般会使CPU的占用率达到100%，某些情况下，我们希望降低CPU使用率，那应该怎么办呢？

1. schedule_timeout

schedule_timeout，做了两件事：

1. 设置timer
2. schedule

此调用并没有改变进程的状态TASK_RUNNING，所以在__schedule()中，不会把进程从运行队列中移出去。当系统进行调度的时候，这个进程仍然会被调度进来。

2. schedule_timeout_interruptible

schedule_timeout_interruptible, 在调用schedule之前，会先调用set_current_state设置进程状态，所以会将进程移出运行队列。从而达到降低CPU使用率的作用。
类似的还有：
schedule_timeout_uninterruptible,  schedule_timeout_killable

1801/**
1802 * schedule_timeout - sleep until timeout
1803 * @timeout: timeout value in jiffies
1804 *
1805 * Make the current task sleep until @timeout jiffies have elapsed.
1806 * The function behavior depends on the current task state
1807 * (see also set_current_state() description):
1808 *
1809 * %TASK_RUNNING - the scheduler is called, but the task does not sleep
1810 * at all. That happens because sched_submit_work() does nothing for
1811 * tasks in %TASK_RUNNING state.
1812 *
1813 * %TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE - at least @timeout jiffies are guaranteed to
1814 * pass before the routine returns unless the current task is explicitly
1815 * woken up, (e.g. by wake_up_process()).
1816 *
1817 * %TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE - the routine may return early if a signal is
1818 * delivered to the current task or the current task is explicitly woken
1819 * up.
1820 *
1821 * The current task state is guaranteed to be %TASK_RUNNING when this
1822 * routine returns.
1823 *
1824 * Specifying a @timeout value of %MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT will schedule
1825 * the CPU away without a bound on the timeout. In this case the return
1826 * value will be %MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT.
1827 *
1828 * Returns 0 when the timer has expired otherwise the remaining time in
1829 * jiffies will be returned. In all cases the return value is guaranteed
1830 * to be non-negative.

1834 定义一个 process_timer 对象

1868 ~ 1870 填充 timer 对象，然后将这个 timer  使用   __mod_timer 函数，加入 到系统中。

1071 调用 schedule 函数进行调度

 

1888 ~ 1907  schedule_timeout_interruptable /  schedule_timeout_uninterruptable  / schedule_timeout_killable   的实现，先设置状态，再调用  schedule_timeout 。
