[Xenomai] rtdm_nrtsig_pend FAQ

[Johann Obermayr <johann.obermayr@sigmatek.at>]

Hello,

we use rtdm_nrtsig_pend follow.

static rtdm_nrtsig_t wait_domain_nrt;
static DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD(wait_domain_wq);

void period_update()
{
         wait_domain_pend_count++;
         rtdm_nrtsig_pend(&wait_domain_nrt);
}

static void wait_domain_nrt_handler(rtdm_nrtsig_t nrt_sig, void *arg)
{
     wait_domain_call_count++;
     //wakeup wait_domain
     wait_domain_wakeup = 1;
     wake_up_interruptible(&wait_domain_wq);
}


period_update is called every millisecond.
this is on imx6 hardware with kernel 3.0.x and xenomai 2.6.2.1.

Why wait_domain_call_count can be smaller that wait_domain_pend_count.
The difference between the counters is growing.

Why ?

Best Regards
