it is truly frightening, particularily when you read comments like:

 *  2002-01-04  New ultra-scalable O(1) scheduler by Ingo Molnar:
 *              hybrid priority-list and round-robin design with
 *              an array-switch method of distributing timeslices
 *              and per-CPU runqueues.  Cleanups and useful suggestions
 *              by Davide Libenzi, preemptible kernel bits by Robert Love.

err, yes i've been delving through this stuff.

if you want a near death experience, read:

    /usr/include/linux/list.h
