Folks,

Is there a way to make the current thread yield the processor in a kext?

I understand that by default threads executing in the kernel are pre-emptable, but sometimes I would like the current thread to explicitly give the scheduler a chance to schedule another thread, before the current thread's timeslice has elapsed. I'm looking for something similar to cond_resched() on Linux.
