Documentation for rescheduling requirements for S/I class APi  Topic is solved

Postby faisal » Fri Apr 10, 2020 12:19 am

You had language similar to this in previous documentation:

–“S” is a function that must be called from within a critical zone and can reschedule internally
–“I” is a function that must be called from within a critical zone and does not reschedule internally


However, in the current documentation there is no explicit mention that S class functions reschedule internally, while no I class functions reschedule. Someone very experienced may be able to infer this from the documentation, but this is something worth mentioning right in the beginning when explaining kernel and API concepts.

Hi,

I will check, it is not supposed to be this way. Moving to bug reports.

Thanks for looking into it. I believe it should have been here:

Hi,

I added some notes, the confusion was originated because there were two copies of concepts.dox. Moved in a common location.
