This file contains the Non Preemptive Protocol (NPP)
Title:
NPP (Non Preemptive Protocol)
Resource Models Accepted:
None
Description:
This module implement the Non Preemptive Protocol.
When a task aquire a critical section, it become non-preemptable.
A NPP mutex is created passing the NPP_mutexattr structure to mutex_init.
Exceptions raised:
XMUTEX_OWNER_KILLED
This exception is raised when a task ends and it owns one or more
mutexes
Restrictions & special features:
- This module is NOT Posix compliant
- This module can manage any number of NPP mutexes.
- if a task uses a NPP mutex, it can use only this type of mutex.
- If a task ends (because it reaches the end of the body or because it
is killed by someone) and it owns some mutex, an exception is raised.
- if a mutex unlock is called on a mutex not previously
locked or previously locked by another task an error is returned
- A NPP mutex can be statically allocated. To do this, the init function
have to define a macro that puts this information in the mutex
descriptor: mutexlevel = <NPP resource level>; opt = NULL;
for example, if the NPP module is registered at level 1, the macro is
like:
#define MUTEX_INITIALIZER {1,(void *)NULL}
