NAME¶
thread_exit
—
abandon current thread context
SYNOPSIS¶
#include
<sys/param.h>
#include
<sys/proc.h>
void
thread_exit
(
void);
DESCRIPTION¶
The
thread_exit
() function implements the
machine independent prelude to a thread shutdown. It will not return, and will
result in a call to
mi_switch(9) to schedule some
other thread.
thread_exit
() arranges to free all the
resources of the thread, specifically the kernel stack.
To protect the
runqueue(9),
thread_exit
() must be called with the
sched_lock mutex held.
