A multi-threaded user process makes a system call and control comes to kernel extension ( I mean proc_self( ) gives me the pid of the user process).
If the kernel extension blocks using msleep( ), does it block the entire process or does it block only a specific thread of that process that is making a call.
I am trying to understand the threading model implemented in Tiger.
