I think it has, at least WRT POSIX RR and FIFO scheduling. If there are more than one ksegrps, then it depends. POSIX says that scheduling with multiple scheduling allocation domains (I think that is the wording) is implementation defined. But one of the things I want to do is to keep threads scheduled on the same kse/ksegrp, so there would be one run queue for each (libpthread's version of a) kse, and threads would stay on the same kse. -- DE
