Hi,

now that rtdm_lock_get() locks the scheduler, and if moved the
scheduler lock before the spin_lock, would not it be possible to use
rtdm_lock_get() with irqs on ?

Regard.

Conceptually, yes. People will only have to be more carefully to use the
right mechanism depending on if there are IRQ-based users or not - just
like under Linux. We avoided this trap so far.

Maybe we should ask the user to mark IRQ-free spinlocks via a special
rtdm_lock_init_noirq. Then we could validate the caller's context in a
debug version.
