My task is free, I can do everything that I want that involves modules, I thought that to make the module about the new O(k) scheduler would be a good idea. I think that it?s not enough for me schedstats, because I want to make a visual scheduler, I mean, using GTK+ , a module and something else to make a visual scheduler monitor, how the tasks move between "active" and "expired", where the task are in prio_array with the bitmap fields...this module isn?t usefull, only in a didactic way. This is the reason because I have to make a module althought ( according with your recomendations, recomendations of a person who knows infinitely much than me) probably would be better to make another thing. At any rate, I will search "schedstats" references, in case it was usefull. Thank all of you very much again , with your help I hope to be able to make a good final degree job. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
