Aha, I missed the rt_mutex_setprio() in insert_work().
This is not good either. Suppose we have
void work_handler(struct work_struct *self)
{
if (!try_lock()) {
// try again later...
queue_work(wq, self);
return;
}
do_the_work();
}
What if that work was queued by the low-priority thread, and
then a high-priority thread inserts a new work when work_handler()
is running?
Oleg.
