Hi all, during my ongoing search for the init/cleanup issue of shadow threads, I stumbled over another problem: Deleting a userspace native thread that is blocked in primary mode does not let the NPTL clean up all resources allocated in userspace. If you plan to do some rt_task_create/delete in a loop, you will soon run out of memory (and Mr. oom-killer will show up...).
I haven't found a solution for this beyond letting a rt-task always terminate itself (or terminate the whole program after forced deletions). If there is no solution, we should at least document this fact somewhere. Again, it's not a common use case, but it's also not an expectable behaviour of the native skin. Ok, back to work, Jan
