Re: [Xenomai-core] Kernel crash with Xenomai (caused by fork?)

[Tomas Kalibera <kalibera@domain.hid>]

Hi,

I've tried a more defensive kernel setup & your patch (no.6). The lockup 
is still there. It  happens after a realtime task is started, though I 
was unable to track exactly when -  it does not crash in a debugger, 
does not crash with strace, breaks SysRq, and printing log messages 
seems to be delayed (despite flushing). I tried changing the application 
code (like using more default flags when creating a task, etc). But I 
did not find a workaround.

I've put the kernel on the web again, including the config (the one that 
contains "xenomaidp6"). Maybe it might help to track down the bug... 
Maybe not.

Do you have any ideas how to work it around ?

Thanks
Tomas
