.TH "FINISH_TASK_SWITCH" "" "06 October 2005" "" ""

.SH NAME
finish_task_switch \- clean up after a task-switch
.SH SYNOPSIS
"SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fB
.sp
void finish_task_switch  (task_t * \fIprev\fB);
\fR
.SH "ARGUMENTS"
.TP
\fB\fIprev\fB\fR
the thread we just switched away from.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
We enter this with the runqueue still locked, and \fBfinish_arch_switch\fR
will unlock it along with doing any other architecture-specific cleanup
actions.
.PP
Note that we may have delayed dropping an mm in \fBcontext_switch\fR\&. If
so, we finish that here outside of the runqueue lock.  (Doing it
with the lock held can cause deadlocks; see \fBschedule\fR for
details.)
