Hello,
I'm studying how to develop drivers in a real time OS and how do they
work. I'm using  Ubuntu 10.04 with the 2.6.31-11-rt patch installed.
I would like to know the priority when executing open(), read(), write()
and close() operations.
In my example the thread which is using the driver runs with 10 RTPRIO,
but I don't know what happens in kernel context with the priority when
running the I/O operations.
Thank you for your help, I don't know where to learn about this.

Also when using bottom half mechanisms you need to take into account the
priority of the kernel thread that manages the defered work items, so
rt-drivers may have a different structure than normal drivers.

That's the reason why I prefer UIO based user space drivers !
