#2935 closed defect (wontfix)

Termios task driven mode not compatible with SMP

Description

When the Termios task driven functioning mode is used, rtems_termios_open_tty() calls rtems_task_create() with RTEMS_NO_PREEMPT in the initial task mode parameter. RTEMS_NO_PREEMPT is not supported on SMP.

rtems_task_create() returns RTEMS_UNSATISFIED in this SMP scenario and Termios ends up in rtems_fatal_error_occurred().

Termios starts the RX and TX tasks successfully on SMP if RTEMS_NO_PREEMPT is removed from the initial task modes of these tasks. However, I suspect there may be assumptions on the NO_PREEMPT mode for the RX and TX tasks in other parts of Termios.

The task driven mode in general needs a review and possibly a re-implementation. A good alternative is the TERMIOS_IRQ_SERVER_DRIVEN mode in case the interrupt server is available.

We should keep the task driven mode as is. Maybe remove it in the future.
