  • Method and apparatus for ensuring CPU halts during idle processing
    Patent number: 5845140
    Abstract: A method for managing idle processing in a computer system is described. An Idle Chain Manager virtual device driver (VxD) address is registered on an idle callback chain on the computer system. An Idle Chain Manager callback function corresponding with the Idle Chain Manager VxD address is hooked with a registration service on the computer system. This allows the Idle Chain Manager callback function to intercept a request from a VxD to register a VxD idle callback address onto the idle callback chain and registers the VxD idle callback address with the Idle Chain Manager callback function. The Idle Chain Manager VxD address is called when the idle processing is required.
