- This patch removes the time slice split between parent and child in
fork.
- The time slice of the parent remains unchanged and the child does
not have any.
- If the process has a scheduler, the scheduler must assign the
quantum and priority of the new process and let it run.
- If the child does not inherit a scheduler, it is scheduled by the
dummy default kernel policy. (servers, drivers, etc.)
- In theory, the scheduler can change the quantum even of the parent
process and implement any policy for splitting the quantum as
neither the parent nor the child are runnable. Sending the
out-of_quantum message on behalf of the processes may look like the
right solution, however, the scheduler would probably handle the
message before the whole fork protocol is finished. This way the
scheduler has absolute control when the process should become
runnable.
