 Hi Philippe,
 
 likely a regression of latest timer base patches: with periodic support
 enabled (haven't tested the off case yet), latency -t1/2 no longer work.
 I have no time to look at this, so I just dump my report here. :)

Ok, fixed by #2054.

 PS: Is there an official nucleus API to convert dates between timebases?
 I'm asking because of the open question how to share RTDM drivers
 between skins on different timer bases. Right now it looks to me like
 RTDM is locked to one base (configured at compile or module load time)
 and cannot be shared.
 

This is the same situation than before, except that now, RTDM can choose
the timebase it is locked on. There is no conversion API right now, but
we could define xntbase_convert(inbase, rtdm_base), with inbase being
extracted from xnthread_timebase(xnpod_current_thread()) for primary
context services. The question remains open on how to get the inbase
pointer for seconday mode callers though.

Btw, it works fine on my testboxes UP/SMP, so this may be a
config-dependent issue which I have overlooked. Please send me
your .config. TIA,

Mm, silly me: xnthread_timebase(xnshadow_thread(current)) if the
argument is non-null, or we would force the master time base if current
is not a real-time shadow, IOW plain Linux tasks would always call -nrt
services with nanosecond based timeout and delays. So this should be a
no-brainer.
