rtems_rate_monotonic_period bug?

[Stephan Merker]

It seems to me that rtems_rate_monotonic_period() doesn't work as expected
if I'm using changing period lengths (e.g. as done in the example at page
181 of the C users manual). The first period is used throughout the lifetime
of the period.
E.g.:
while (1) {
    rtems_rate_monotonic_period(periodId, 10);
    do1();
    rtems_rate_monotonic_period(periodId, 90);
    do2();
}
I would expect do1() to be executed at 0 ticks and do2() at 10 ticks.
Overall cycle would be 100 ticks. What I get is do1() at 0 ticks, do2() at
10 ticks, overall cycle is 20 ticks.

Having a look in the source ratemonperiod.c, there is no reference to the
length parameter in state RATE_MONOTONIC_ACTIVE. A bug?

I'm using RTEMS 4.5 beta3 on Linux.

Please send a replay to my email directly.

Thanks,
Stephan
