hi,
I need to the following things ,
=0A1)The name of the kernel process that calls schedule when any process has to be blocked.
i dont think there is a kernel process as such, user processes "trap" ( if thats the right word ) and execute kernel code.
2)The name of the kernel process that calls the swapper process i.e. process (0).
i dont think what you have written here is right, swapper is not the process 0 ( i dont think there is a process zero ), although its one of the first processes to be created and by the above logic the kswapd is the user process which makes sure there is enough free physical memory.
this information might not be completly true, you should read "the Linux Kernel" or "Understanding the Linux Kernel". the first book can be fond online.
