atomic

[rajkumarmadhani]

hi,

i gone through tasklets and waitqueues , i have one doubt regarding atomicity.

tasklets are very fast and tasklet code must be "atomic".

what is meant by atomic iam unable get this in which context it is used ?

could anybody please tell me.

A code or a block of code is said to be atomic, if no context switching takes place when the atomic code/block is under execution.
