taskqueues

[Orit Moskovich]

Hi,

Can you please specify the difference between interrupt threads and regular kernel threads in the context of the different default taskqueues?
Meaning, I saw that the taskqueue taskqueue_thread is actually a kernel thread running the function taskqueue_thread_loop,
And the 3 other default taskqueues are working with ithreads.

Which of the above preempts the other? What should I use if performance is critical (something equivalent to Linux softirq...)?

Thanks,
Orit Moskovich
