Hello, I have a problem on kernel 2.6.26.3. I have a real-time task which uses the select system call to poll my audio driver. The sleeping task is waken up by wake_up() from an interrupt handler. The problem is, that the wake_up() function sometimes does not wake up the task if real-time priority is used. The try_to_wake_up() returns from the out_running section, because of the check if (p->se.on_rq) goto out_running; There are no other tasks running when the poll function is called. Is this a known problem? Is it fixed somehow in newer versions? Unfortunately I do not have the possibility to change the newest kernel version. I am a newbie at linux, thank you very much for your help.
