#523 closed defect (fixed)

Make malloc family safer from ISRs and critical sections

Reported by: Joel Sherrill Owned by: Jennifer Averett

Description

Currently, any attempt to malloc() or free() memory from within an ISR or dispatching disabled critical section could result in an attempt to block the calling task. It is also an error now to lock a mutex with dispatching disabled.

Suggestions included a garbage collection task and a deferred free list.

Fix will be attached once PR is in system.

Release:
RTEMS-4.6 and CVS
