rtems_message_queue_receive / rtems_event_receive issues

[Catalin Demergian]

Hi,
I eliminated the theory of memory corruption. I debugged and found we set
Wait.flags = 0x104 with a function call.
The USB interrupt can arrive at any time, so Wait.flags can be either
INTEND_TO_BLOCK, BLOCKED or READY_AGAIN.

Following the logic in _Event_Surrender:
If it arrives when Wait.flags = INTEND_TO_BLOCK
then _Thread_Wait_flags_try_change_critical will return TRUE, Wait.flags
will be set to READY_AGAIN,
unblock = FALSE so _Thread_Unblock will not be called.
Then all the other USB interrupts will catch Wait.flags = READY_AGAIN and
in this case_Event_Surrender doesn't do anything because unblock = FALSE

.. so the task never runs again, but state remains marked as READY.
is this a bug ? or I'm not understanding correctly?

regards,
Catalin
