CONFIG_NUM_COOP_PRIORITIES

Number of coop priorities

Type: int

Help

Number of cooperative priorities configured in the system. Gives access
to priorities:

      K_PRIO_COOP(0) to K_PRIO_COOP(CONFIG_NUM_COOP_PRIORITIES - 1)

or seen another way, priorities:

      -CONFIG_NUM_COOP_PRIORITIES to -1

This can be set to zero to disable cooperative scheduling. Cooperative
threads always preempt preemptible threads.

The total number of priorities is

 NUM_COOP_PRIORITIES + NUM_PREEMPT_PRIORITIES + 1

The extra one is for the idle thread, which must run at the lowest
priority, and be the only thread at that priority.
