RE: Priority of process control methods

John,

Sorry for the delay in getting back.

Your interpretation of independent suspend/resume and sync_reset_on/off flags is correct.

About suspend and disable, the process similarly maintains independent flags. So in the scenario below, after the enable, the process stays in the suspended state.

Thanks,

Bishnupriya,

If a suspended process gets a series of sync_reset_on / sync_reset_off calls then it in effect toggles in and out of the sync reset state, even though the effect would not be visible until the process is resumed, right? In effect, a process has independent suspend/resume and sync_reset_on/off flags where the suspend/resume flag takes priority.

What about suspend versus disable? If we have;

p.suspend(); // Process suspended
p.disable(); // Process disabled, takes priority over suspend
p.enable(); // ??

Is the process left in the suspended state or is the suspension lifted when the disable is lifted? In other words, does a process keep independent suspend and disable flags?

Thanks,

John A
