Hello everyone,
When i call down () on a semaphore from a
process (a function scheduled through schedule_task
()), the whole system halts (the only thing that works
is CTRL+ALT+DEL). I tried some tricks like
implementing my own semphore (a simpler one) that
does'nt call sleep_on () but schedule (), but the
result remained the same. Can anyone tell me what
crime I'm commiting here? BTW, it's 2.4 I am talking about.
