Re: rtai task causes rcu problems on exit

My assumption is that your task steals too much time too Linux somewhere, at least to annoy the some read-copy-update stuff.
Somewhere on the net I found:
"You probably have a real time application that is consuming all cpu (some bad implementation) and because of its realtime scheduling priority the system doesn't have enough resources available for other tasks.". Nothe that (s)hewas not talking of hard real time but simple of the real time oprion available to a super user under standard Linux POSIX.
I do not know if I and the guy on the net are right but if your RTAI task is running fine, since RTAI very hardly locks out any LINUX activity what above might be even a truer justification for a CPU stall, in LINUX view. After all RTAI is a LINUX staller.
Maybe the following can help:

Subject: Re: [Rtai] rtai task causes rcu problems on exit

Correction, they occur the entire time the real time task is running. Is
there a way to disable this somehow or configure it so it is ignored. It
is cause multi-second delays in the execution of other programs running
on the same system as the real-time task.
