From 2f53e3a7e30432f40dd6bcc9dc63c60b01a1cebf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alejandro Colomar Date: Wed, 3 May 2023 18:26:12 +0200 Subject: sched_yield.2: NOTES: Remove misleading sentence sched_yield(2) is not the right thing for heavily contended resources. The right thing to do is to call functions that wake the waiting threads.
