And as it turned out, I had thought wrong -- while the code posted
does the function, I missed the mimimum 10ms sleep time in the
kernal code -- so in practice, this is just a complicated way of
sleeping for 10ms. As it turns out, I _think_ that:
void let_SCHED_OTHER_run(void)
{
/* adapted from code by Gordon W. Ross */
struct timespec sleep_time;
sigset_t blocked_wake;
sigemptyset(&blocked_wake);
sleep_time.tv_sec = 0;
sleep_time.tv_nsec = 0; /* different from last posting */
sigtimedwait(&blocked_wake, NULL, &sleep_time);
}
does what I want (it has the right suspend behavior, and I think
it has the "zero wait time" characteristic), however, as I noted
in the last posting, its not clear to me this is correct POSIX
behavior in this case too ...
