Description
FIFO tasks may starve other non-RT tasks, which is mitigated by RT throttling.
Deadline servers have been introduced and are still under development as an alternative to mitigate and avoid starvation of non-RT tasks.
There is, however, the chance that some other FIFO tasks will be starved and that could lead to system deadlock.
I would like to open the discussion about the possibility of using deadline servers as a mechanism to prevent such situations and what conditions and policies would be acceptable by the community for such an implementation.
