Mode switches when using write(&msg) function inside a Xenomai RT kernel

[MMarcus95]

Is there an already existing issue for this?

Expected behavior

Mode switches are not happening when using write function

Current behavior

Hello,

I'm scheduling a process with FIFO policy under Ubuntu 20.04 with a Xenomai RT kernel patch (6.12.19-xeno-3.3.1+). By using the command

watch -n 0.1 cat /proc/xenomai/sched/stat

I can monitor the mode switches (MSW) happening in my process. I noticed that the write function of the datawriter I'm using gives MSW when the datawriter starts sending data to a datareader that belongs to another process. If there is not datareader, MSW are not happening.

I tried following the use-case-realtime tutorial, and setting ASYNCHRONOUS_PUBLISH_MODE with flow controllers, but it did not work out.

Can you help me configuring the datawriter such that I don't have MSW? It is needed for strict real-time requirements.

Also, do you have suggestions for the datareader configuration too?

Thanks!
