<div dir="ltr">How can we get mutex->queue.priority_before data structure without having the mutex structure. We need that to change the priority_before for every acquired mutex by a thread to ensure that there is proper stepdown of priority. We just need to have mutex to get the start point of the chain_control and then we traverse upto the head of the chain to manipulate the priority_before if required.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Thanks,<div><br></div><div>Saurabh Gadia</div></div></div></div>

Remove the commit "Updated the motivation for creating the new<br>
branch", don't add the .tags files, and don't add the .m4 changes that<br>
are not related to your project.<br>
<br>
Switch to using RTEMS_CONTAINER_OF macro and remove the typeaddr one.<br>
<br>
coremutexseize.c : remove the modification where you deleted a blank<br>
space randomly.<br>
<br>
threadimpl.h : follow the score naming conventions (<br>
<a href="https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/Developer/Coding/NamingRules" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/Developer/Coding/NamingRules</a> ) for the<br>
new functions you introduce. Can you explain clearly why new functions<br>
are needed? Also, I'm not particularly satisfied with the use of the<br>
CORE_mutex_order_list type in these Thread functions. I don't see why<br>
the mutex should be "baked in" to the Thread functions interface.<br>
Tracking through the code, I can't even tell if it is necessary to<br>
pass this argument around. Can you say whether or not you need to keep<br>
this argument?<br>
<br>
Read the coding conventions for the style guidelines with respect to<br>
block scoping. Also watch out for line lengths > 80 characters. Add<br>
doxygen for new functions you introduce if they are kept around.<br>
<br>
For changes where the UP function invoked differs from the SMP, can<br>
you please add a comment to justify the difference. I want to<br>
understand why a particular code-path is followed for UP but not SMP.<br>
<br>
That's all for now, thanks!<br>
