Forum Topic - I/O server and priority adjustment /inheritance?: (3 Items)
   
I/O server and priority adjustment /inheritance?  
Still new to QNX and could not find the answer in docum:

Suppose there is a resource manager that is an i/o server, device driver, etc.
It is called by various clients running at various priorities. 
Does QNX provide automatic "priority inheritance" in the meaning that the server gets a priority increment when a high 
priority client is waiting?

If not, what is the best practice to set the server priority? Just set it "high enough" ?

Thanks for any idea,
-- Saul

Saul,

Here is a jumping off point into the subject in the docs:
http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.5.0/index.jsp?topic=/com.qnx.doc.neutrino_sys_arch/ipc.html

Scroll down a bit to the section called "Priority inheritance and messages".

Cheers,

Eric
