Original commit message from CVS:
Added element-level locking support, implemented for cothreads with a mutex
held whenever an element is actually currently running. This should be done
with atomic variables eventually, but the best I can find is to use
<asm/spinlock.h> from the kernel, which brings in too much for my taste.
Also increased cothread stack size to 32KB and max cothread count to 64,
which fits within the default pthread 2MB stack. It would probably be good
to do a pthread_attr_getstacksize() to verify that it's 2MB, and if
linuxthreads had a pthread_attr_setstacksize(), we could remove these
limits.
Original commit message from CVS:
Significant progress. Now able to do most operations live, without any
failure. tests/incsched.c currently faults at the last iteration, not
yet sure why.
Original commit message from CVS:
First round of incremental scheduling. Manager setting and managed_elements
lists are now handled at bin_add/remove time. Scheduling chains can be
created incrementally as well, though there are still some pieces missing.
Original commit message from CVS:
More massive changes to the scheduling system. Moved the scheduling code
to gstscheduler.[ch], so an child bin can replace the scheduler.
Introduced the concept of chains, which are subsets of the list of managed
elements for a given manager bin, which get scheduled as separate entities.
gst_bin_iterate_func should be pretty much fixed now, the scheduling code
gets to do all the hard work.
Cothreaded case work in the couple tests I've tried, chained is next.
