Realtime Workshop Slides?

Realtime Workshop Slides?

[Daniel Wagner]

Hi Steven,

I'd like to write up a summary how to write a RT application. Instead
of writing yet another document, I really like to extend (if needed)
this here

https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/HOWTO:_Build_an_RT-application

My memory is quite bad so I am not sure if there is anything missing
on this page, compared with your presentation durin the RTWS.
If you don't mind sharing the slide, I could try to add missing stuff :)

(Obviously, it will be in Engrish :P)

cheers,
daniel

I think your mail didn't make it to list so far (at least there is
no Cc).

Looking forward to it :)

According mlockall() man page:

        MCL_CURRENT Lock all pages which are currently  mapped  into  the  address  space  of  the
                    process.

        MCL_FUTURE  Lock  all pages which will become mapped into the address space of the process
                    in the future.  These could be for instance new pages required  by  a  growing
                    heap and stack as well as new memory mapped files or shared memory regions.

        If  MCL_FUTURE  has been specified, then a later system call (e.g., mmap(2), sbrk(2), mal‐
        loc(3)), may fail if it would cause the number of locked bytes  to  exceed  the  permitted
        maximum  (see below).  In the same circumstances, stack growth may likewise fail: the ker‐
        nel will deny stack expansion and deliver a SIGSEGV signal to the process.

Mostlikely you want to use both flags. See also the examples

https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Simple_memory_locking_example
https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Dynamic_memory_allocation_example
https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Threaded_RT-application_with_memory_locking_and_stack_handling_example

Absolutely.

My slides are already public. Add what you want.

Hi Steve,

I am also interested in the slides. Where can I find them ?
