Detailed Description

These services provide a mechanism to request the execution of a specified handler in non-real-time context.

The triggering can safely be performed in real-time context without suffering from unknown delays. The handler execution will be deferred until the next time the real-time subsystem releases the CPU to the non-real-time part.

Typedef Documentation

rtdm_nrtsig_handler_t

typedef void(* rtdm_nrtsig_handler_t) (rtdm_nrtsig_t *nrt_sig, void *arg)

Non-real-time signal handler.

Parameters

[in]	nrt_sig	Signal handle pointer as passed to rtdm_nrtsig_init()
[in]	arg	Argument as passed to rtdm_nrtsig_init()

Note

The signal handler will run in soft-IRQ context of the non-real-time subsystem. Note the implications of this context, e.g. no invocation of blocking operations.

Function Documentation

rtdm_nrtsig_destroy()

rtdm_nrtsig_init()

int rtdm_nrtsig_init	(	rtdm_nrtsig_t *	nrt_sig,
		rtdm_nrtsig_handler_t	handler,
		void *	arg
	)

Register a non-real-time signal handler.

Parameters

[in,out]	nrt_sig	Signal handle
[in]	handler	Non-real-time signal handler
[in]	arg	Custom argument passed to handler() on each invocation

Returns

0 on success, otherwise:

• -EAGAIN is returned if no free signal slot is available.
