Hello,
I have some strange behavior in one of my systems.
I have a real-time kernel thread under SCHED_FIFO which is running every
10ms.
It is blocking on a semaphore and released by a timer interrupt every 10ms.
Generally this works really well.
However, there is a module in the system that makes a / system() / call
from c-code in user-space;
system("run_my_script");
By calling and running a bash script. Independent of how the actual
script looks like the real time kernel thread does not get scheduled under
the time of 80ms -- the time it takes for the system() call to finish.
I can see when running a LTT session that the wake_up event occurs for
the real time thread 10ms into the system call but nevertheless the real
time kernel thread does not get scheduled.
The thread that calls system("run_my_script") is configured as SCHED_OTHER.
The Kernel is 2.6.21.
Anybody who recognize this or similar situations?
Cheers // Matias
