Why should a threads package be interested in the events of a thread’s becoming blocked or
unblocked? Why should it be interested in the event of a virtual processor’s impending
preemption? (Hint: other virtual processors may continue to be allocated.)
What will be an ideal response?
If a thread becomes blocked, the user-level scheduler may have a READY thread to schedule. If a thread
becomes unblocked, it may become the highest-priority thread and so should be run.
If a virtual processor is to be preempted, then the user-level scheduler may re-assign user-level threads to
virtual processors, so that the highest-priority threads will continue to run.
