STM32 Semaphore pool Topic is solved

[martinkuhn]

Hey there!

Im running ChibiOS with nanoFramework on a custom STM32F427 based MCU board. I enabled the debug checks and found some bugs. I'm not sure whether this is also one:
Let's have a look at the cmsis_os.c file in os/common/abstractions/cmsis_os/. We create a semaphore pool in osKernelInitialize with a provider chCoreAllocAligned. In my opinion this should be the chCoreAllocAlignedI function instead. Because if we are create a semaphore in osSempahoreCreate, the following call chPoolAlloc does a SysLock and calls chPoolAllocI. If we then use the chCoreAllocAligned method, we call Syslock twice which causes a chSysHalt.
This would be also the same with the timer pool (same file).

What do you think?

Hi,

Thanks for finding, it is confirmed. Will be fixed in 18.x, 19.x and trunk.

Thanks a lot!
Could you also push this to the nanoframework/ChibiOS mirror please?

Kind regards,
Martin

That is not up to me, I am not handling that.
