malloc/free and priority inheritance?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I am hunting a possible priority inversion case and I would like
to ask whether the malloc/free from glibc (particularly 2.11.3
used in Debian 6 or newer) uses priority inheritance mutexes
when doing the necessary locking.

There is http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12114
which would suggest that it is not - is this (still) true?
If yes, is there some patch or are there tried&tested alternative
malloc libraries that do not have the problem (e.g. tcmalloc)?
I am using it on a RT_PREEMPT_FULL linux-rt.

Please Cc me on answer, I am not subscribed to libc-help

Thanks
