Hi Santi,

I'm no sure that I've fully understood the question. What do you mean
about mapping?
If you mean kernel/user memory memory mapping, in the kernel there is not
a mapping of the memory user task in the kernel.
If with mapping you mean the relation between userspace task and
scheduling entries, then the relation is 1:1.
Remember that the kernel doesn't really know that there is a difference
between process and threads, it's why they are called tasks, threads,
process at the same way. The only difference is the way you create it in
userspace. As soon as you create it in your userspace process, the kernel
links it to a kernel structure called 'struct task_struct' (linux/sched.h)
which contains many descriptions on the thread/process you have just
created.
1 userpace thread:1 struct task_struct, this is what I mean with 1:1
mapping

HI everyone just wanted to know whats the current implementation of user||
kernel space thread mapping ...is it 1:1 or does it depend on the needs ?
For example say if i have 12k user space thread running ,,,how many kernel
space thread would be managing them... as far as i know there is 1:1 mappin

 Thanks
