Thanks for the bug report. I think comedi_read() in
"drivers/staging/comedi/comedi_fops.c" needs a call to
set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING) just before the call to copy_to_user(...).

Similarly, comedi_write() needs a call to set_current_task(TASK_RUNNING)
just before the call to copy_from_user(...), and another call to
set_current_task(TASK_RUNNING) before the call to mutex_lock().

I'll work on a patch.

Hi Ian,

I am afraid I have more problems with running Comedi on rt-patched kernel than
only that. I am still trying to figure out the specific reason - hopefully it is
my fault and I scrued up my own code, but so far it seems pcie215
support doesn't work at least in the same way on rt-patched kernel
as it was on non-rt. I will dig it a little bit harder, likely coming with another
bug reports shoud they be observed.

Do you know about other experience other people may have using Comedi
for pcie215 on rt-patched kernels, specifically 4.4.70?

Has Comedi been tested on rt kernels by yourself?

cheers,
Piotr

Not in particular. People have used Comedi with RTAI in the past, but
that's a different animal to the RT patch-set.

Not up until now. Initial testing with the "comedi_test" module
suggests there may be some issues to be resolved (e.g. it locks up when
running an asynchronous command), although "comedi_test" isn't a typical
Comedi driver as it makes heavy use of kernel timers. I do have a
pcie215, but haven't tried it on an RT kernel yet.
