Hi

In LTP(Jan 2012 release) Open Posix Test Suite, the test case 
"pthread_rwlock_rdlock/2-1.c"
fails for Linux Kernel 3.0.18 for target ARM.


The exact output of the program is:
main: has priority: 3
main: attempt read lock
main: acquired read lock
main: create wr_thread, with priority: 2
wr_thread: attempt write lock
main: create rd_thread, with priority: 1
rd_thread: attempt read lock
rd_thread: acquired read lock
rd_thread: unlock read lock
Test FAILED: rd_thread did not block on read lock, when a reader owns 
the lock, and a higher
priority writer is waiting for the lock
Hi Jubi,

I am using eglibc and meet the same failure. My analysis is that

   This test case is to test option *Thread Execution Scheduling* of 
pthread rwlock.
   But eglibc/libc don't support this option. They provide a 
rwlock->__data.*__flags* option to identify
   perfer 'read lock' or write lock, and the default is 'read lock' 
first. So second reader can get the lock
   when a higher priority writer is waiting for the lock.

Regards,
Kai


The path of the program si :
VDLTP_20120104/testcases/open_posix_testsuite/conformance/interfaces/pthread_rwlock_rdlock

Ca anyone please explain why it fails at this point? I am unable to 
catch the exact reason.

Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks,
Jubi
