Subject: Question on Scheduler activations

Hello,

I came across

http://people.redhat.com/drepper/glibcthreads.html

It seems to arouse a bit of confusion. _FIRST_ it says that scheduler
activations are BAD. Then it delves on the possible implementation of
Scheduler activations in Linux. Though I know that scheduler
activations are not part of the present kernel. Could anyone provide
BOTH the short and long answer to

a) If they were ever implemented?
b) Reasons for rejection?


TIA

I don't mind RTFM but do you care to provide the M. That is if you have any.

What "Update: this document is obsolete" means is that the document is obsolete.

Probably it should include a link to http://people.redhat.com/drepper/nptl-design.pdf
