Invalid TCB Access for thread creation in L4Linux

[Sean]

Dear all

Now I try to add some functions and data structures in Fiasco.

I had added several data structures into "class Context" and implement some
functions to manipulate these data structures.
My goal is to add multiple ready queues in Fiasco. So I add the
corresponding enqueue function in ready_enqueue() to add the Context into my
own ready queue.
(But I don't change the way to choose highest Context, I only add the queue
and try the functionality of these queue.)

It seems to be valid for simple environment. But when I load L4Linux and I
want to group all threads owned by L4Linux into my ready queue, it got some
unpredictable page fault error.

The error is caused from the enqueue function which changes the data
structures in class Context. But the error sometimes happened before
l4x.idler0 thread creation, sometimes I can get into shell correctly and
error happened when I use unix commands (which creates new thread for this
unix commands). The error is unpredictable.

Because the other threads can work correctly, I guest that there are some
issues in L4Linux to cause this error from the modification of class
Context.

Can anyone give me any idea? Thanks very much!!

Best Regards,
Sean
