I have a need for task t1 to switch task t2 to and from primary mode,
using the native API.  The rt_task_set_mode() API does not have an
argument for the target task, and assumes the current task.  How can I
initiate a 3rd party task mode switch?

On a related note, the task info returned from rt_task_inquire() does
not indicate task mode switches in the corresponding T_PRIMARY (0x200)
bit, which is the bit used to command the mode switch.  However, a mode
switch can be seen in the 0x100 status bit, which corresponds to the
XNRELAX bit, (not in the public native/task.h API).  What's the best way
to inquire if an arbitrary task is in primary or secondary mode?

I am using Xenomai-2.2.0.

thanks,
