Hi Daniel,

That sounds error-prone: Is "write" only called from RT context? Does it
have to synchronise with functions running in non-RT context, and is
this synchronisation done in a RT-safe manner (rtdm_lock_...)? You may
check this offline - or online with CONFIG_IPIPE_DEBUG_CONTEXT.

Sometimes it is helpful to analyse what the crash says precisely, e.g.
at which line of code (during which memory access) the crash happens.
Also, debugging options may help to catch some potential root bug earlier.

In general, I also smell a bit too much hacking and too less designing
here... ;)
