           Summary: sync() implementation is dangerous
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: RTEMS
           Version: HEAD
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: RTEMS
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: cpukit

        ReportedBy: sebastian.huber at embedded-brains.de


The sync() implementation has some weaknesses.

1. No protection of concurrent sync() operations.
2. Since we have no Newlib locks, other threads must not use file operations
during the sync() period.
3. Deletion of threads during the sync() may lead to all sorts of things.
