[erlang-questions] How to avoid long_schedule issue ?

[Alex Feng]

Hi,

I was reading some documents about scheduler, to my understanding there
will be no long_schedule issue since BIF has trap mechanism. Then I found
this, I couldn't understand, the reduction is keeping increasing, why the
BIF(lists:seq) is not interrupted for more than 10ms ?

Could someone please explain this ?

1> erlang:system_monitor(self(),[{long_schedule, 10}]).
undefined
2>  Pid = spawn(fun()->lists:seq(1,2000000000) end).

3>flush().
