[Xenomai-core] Kernel panic on rmmod xeno_vxworks

[Xenomai-core] Kernel panic on rmmod xeno_vxworks

[Niklaus Giger]

Hi

I compiled and started my test with a recent xenomai/trunk (revision 1068).
I booted into single user mode, did a "modprobe xeno_vxworks" (no problem) and 
then a "rmmod xeno_vxworks" and got as response on my PowerBook only
"Kernel panic: -not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler".


Also when I try to run ksrc/skins/vxworks/demos/satch (after a make std)
I get the following info (using gdb):
(gdb) run

I observed such an error when the stack size is to small, I guess
vfprintf uses alloca.

Confirmed, and it seems configuration-dependent, but not arch-dependent. 
I'm on it, more later.

It's the VxWorks tick handler that's still called after the module is 
unloaded. Oops, rainy day indeed. I will send a fix for that. Thanks.

This fixed my problem. Task crashes with 18 kB stack, but not with
20 kB. Therefore I propose 24 kB to have some margine for the future.

Please apply the following patch:

Commit #1077 fixes that. Thanks for the report.
