preemptive kernel

[vasanth rao naik sabavat]

Hi Adrian,

Just to clarify, is the kernel pre-emption involuntary?

Let say I have a kernel thread processing a huge list of entries, would
this thread get involuntarily context switched out because of kernel
preemption?

What is the time slice after which a kernel thread can involuntarily
context switched out?

Could you please point to the file in the source code which handles the
kernel pre-emption.

Thanks,
Vasanth
