1) Common english language mistake -- you have a question, not a doubt.
Doubt is rather offensive when used in this manner.  People do appreciate
english isn't your native tongue, but it's better to use question.

2) This is a Local User Group list, not a kernel development
list.  You'd receive a better response directing your message to
linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org which is the list the kernel developers use.

3) It's the scheduler, not the Schedule.

Ingo Molnar, not Nolmar.

Umm.  This reads like 'Please do my homework for me'.  You might do well
to read http://www.samspublishing.com/title/0672325128

By coincidence, the sample chapter available to download for free is
about the scheduler.

the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those
conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse
to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince 
himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep 
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
