Ingo, I just found a __MAJOR__ bug in my code. Below is the patch that fixes this bug, zaps the WARN_ON in check_pi_list_present, and changes ALL_TASKS_PI to a booleon instead of just a define.
The major bug was in __down_trylock. See anything wrong with this code :-) I'm surprised that this worked as well as it did! if (likely(!old_owner) || __grab_lock(lock, task, old_owner->task)) { /* granted */ TRACE_WARN_ON_LOCKED(!plist_empty(&lock->wait_list) && !old_owner); if (old_owner) { __raw_spin_lock(&old_owner->task->pi_lock); set_new_owner(lock, old_owner, ti __EIP__); __raw_spin_unlock(&old_owner->task->pi_lock); } else set_new_owner(lock, old_owner, ti __EIP__); __raw_spin_unlock(&lock->wait_lock); __raw_spin_unlock(&task->pi_lock); ret = 1; } __raw_spin_unlock(&lock->wait_lock); __raw_spin_unlock(&task->pi_lock); Here's the patch: -- Steve Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Index: linux_realtime_goliath/kernel/rt.c =================================================================== --- linux_realtime_goliath/kernel/rt.c (revision 314) +++ linux_realtime_goliath/kernel/rt.c (working copy) @@ -104,7 +104,7 @@ * in the system fall under PI handling.
