ONE
in kern_kse.c:
td->td_pflags &= ~TDP_CAN_UNBIND;
td2 = thread_schedule_upcall(td, ku);
#ifdef SCHED_4BSD
if (flags & SW_INVOL || nextthread) {
setrunqueue(td2, SRQ_YIELDING);
} else {
/* Keep up with reality.. we have one extra thread
* in the picture.. and it's 'running'.
*/
return td2;
}
#else
setrunqueue(td2, SRQ_YIELDING);
#endif
it would be safe to always use the Non-4bsd path
