if setting scheduling properties succeeds, the new thread may end up with lower priority than the caller, and may be unable to continue running due to another intermediate-priority thread. this produces a priority inversion situation for the thread calling pthread_create, since it cannot return until the new thread reports success. originally, the parent was responsible for setting the new thread's priority; commitsb8742f3260and40bae2d32fchanged it as part of trimming down the pthread structure. since then, commit04335d9260partly reversed the changes, but did not switch responsibilities back. do that now.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
