voluntary context switches
The number of times a context switch resulted due to a process voluntarily giving up the processor before its time slice was completed (usually to await availability of a resource).
involuntary context switches
The number of times a context switch resulted due to a higher priority process becoming runnable or because the current process exceeded its time slice.
