CPU在內(nèi)核中運行時并不是處處不可搶占的，內(nèi)核中存在一些空隙，在這時進行搶占是安
全的，內(nèi)核搶占補丁的基本原理就是將SMP可并行的代碼段看成是可以進行內(nèi)核搶占的區(qū)
域。
2.4內(nèi)核正好細(xì)化了多CPU下的內(nèi)核線程同步機構(gòu)，對不可并行的指令塊用spinlock和rw
lock作了細(xì)致的表示，該補丁的實現(xiàn)可謂水到渠成。
具體的方法就是在進程的任務(wù)結(jié)構(gòu)上增加一個preempt_count變量作為內(nèi)核搶占鎖，它隨
著spinlock和rwlock一起加鎖和解鎖。當(dāng)preempt_count為0時表示可以進行內(nèi)核調(diào)度。
內(nèi)核調(diào)度器的入口為preempt_schedule()，它將當(dāng)前進程標(biāo)記為TASK_PREEMPTED狀態(tài)再
調(diào)用schedule()，在TASK_PREEMPTED狀態(tài)，schedule()不會將進程從運行隊列中刪除。

下面是內(nèi)核搶占補丁的主要代碼示意：
