We used to have (an experimental) feature of higher priority of thread
(>= CHOPSTX_PRIO_INHIBIT_PREEMPTION). The feature offered: When a
thread has such a priority, Chostx guarantees that it keeps running
and no other threads can preempt the thread until the thread
voluntarily leaves running. I had introduced this (questionable)
feature as an excuse against no support of masking/unmasking interrupt
API. From the experience of Chopstx, it is rather consistent to
remove this feature.
and no other threads can preempt the thread. I had introduced this
(questionable) feature as an excuse against no support of
masking/unmasking interrupt API. From the experience of Chopstx, it
is rather consistent to remove this feature. It was over engineering
to support a thread having such a special priority.
** New feature
chopstx_critical (void *func (*), *arg)
Let run FUNC with ARG, under CPU scheduler lock (== no preemption).
