ThreadSwitchWithDelay in filesystem callbacks

[krasimir_h]

Hi,

From the samples on the Novell's website like this one:

void NLM_SignalHandler(int sig)
{
switch(sig)
{
case SIGTERM:
while(NLM_threadCnt != 0)
ThreadSwitchWithDelay();
break;
}
return;
}

I understand that it is OK to call ThreadSwitchWithDelay
from your SIGTERM handler although it is executed by an OS thread
which may or may not have a full CLIB context.
I have two questions:
1. Is ThreadSwitchWithDelay() among the functions which are supposed to
need a full CLIB context?
2. Is it OK to call ThreadSwitchWithDelay in a callback registered with
NWAddFSMonitorHook before giving the calling thread a CLIB context using
SetThreadGroupID in case the thread regestering the hook had its
ThreadContextSpecifier set to NO_CONTEXT?

TIA

Best regards
Krasimir

1. ThreadSwitchWithDelay() doesn't need Clib context.
2. Yes, as long as that call back can legally sleep (I am guessing that it
can or you wouldn't be asking the question).

Hi Jeff,
Thank you very much.
1. Great! :-)
2. Yes, it is a PRE... callback
