[Xenomai-help] rt_task_spawn how to

[Patrice Congo]

Hi all,

is it posible to spawn a  task from another rt task?
The following code tries to, but does not succeed:
<code>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include <native/task.h>
//#include <general_macros.h>

#define STACK_SIZE 8192

RT_TASK spawner;
RT_TASK spawnee;
void spawner_work(void* c);
void spawnee_work(void* c);

void spawner_work(void* c)
{
	printf("\nspawner\n");
	//SWITCH_TASK_TO_SECONDARY_MODE();
	int
ret=rt_task_spawn(&spawnee,"spawnee",STACK_SIZE,50,0,spawnee_work,NULL);
	printf("IN SPAWNER WORK: ret=%d
%s\n",ret,strerror(ret));
}

void spawnee_work(void* c)
{
	printf("I am spawnee");	
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	int ret=
	
rt_task_spawn(&spawner,"spawner",STACK_SIZE,50,0,spawner_work,NULL);
	printf("\nIN MAIN:ret=%d %s\n",ret,strerror(-ret));
	getchar();
	return 0;
}


</code>

the resulting output is:
<output>
spawner

IN MAIN:ret=0 Success

</output>
This means that the task "spawner" starts but get
blocked at rt_task_spwan call.

Switching context explicitely to secondary or to
primary does not help too.

can you help?

best, patrice

Hmm, strange. This is what I see with latest SVN checkout of Xenomai:

spawner
IN SPAWNER WORK: ret=0 Success
I am spawnee
IN MAIN:ret=0 Success

Looks fine.

But you are lacking mlockall() in your demo. Maybe some page fault is
hitting your spawnee during creation.

Hi all,

is it possible to spawn a task from another rt task? 
The following code tries but the spawner task get
blocked:
<code>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include <native/task.h>
//#include <general_macros.h>

#define STACK_SIZE 8192

RT_TASK spawner;
RT_TASK spawnee;
void spawner_work(void* c);
void spawnee_work(void* c);

void spawner_work(void* c)
{
	printf("\nspawner\n");
	//SWITCH_TASK_TO_SECONDARY_MODE();
	int
ret=rt_task_spawn(&spawnee,"spawnee",STACK_SIZE,50,0,spawnee_work,NULL);
	printf("IN SPAWNER WORK: ret=%d
%s\n",ret,strerror(ret));
}

void spawnee_work(void* c)
{
	printf("I am spawnee");	
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	int ret=
	
rt_task_spawn(&spawner,"spawner",STACK_SIZE,50,0,spawner_work,NULL);
	printf("\nIN MAIN:ret=%d %s\n",ret,strerror(-ret));
	getchar();
	return 0;
}

</code>

The resulting output is:
<output>
spawner

IN MAIN:ret=0 Success

</output>
Thie means the resulting the task "spawner" starts but
is blocked at rt_task_spawn. 
switching context explicitely to primary or secondary
does not help too.
 
do you see some mistakes? can you help?

thanks in advance, patrice
