Hi List, I am aware of the fact that in interrupt context one should not use mutexes/semaphore and should stick to spinlocks.
I am developing a module which exposes interfaces which could be called from any/all contexts. And I manipulate complex data structures in my functions. Being on safer side I should stick to spinlocks. But in most of the cases it would not be needed, meaning my functions would get called mostly from process contexts, so spinlocks sounds wasteful since my critical sections are long and painful. Also, the data which I am updating would be accessed from read/write methods as well. What do you think should be done in this case? -Leo.
