NxWM::CNxConsole to terminate console tasks and also in
apps/netutils/thttpd to kill CGI tasks that timeout. So not
so simple to remove.
Option: Perhaps task_delete() should not do asynchronous
deletion but should rather do the same kind of
synchronization such as the pthread_cancellation points?
(see pthread_cancel() issues).
Status: Open
Priority: Low and not easily removable.

Title: CANCELLATION POINTS
Description: pthread_cancel(): Should implement cancellation points and
pthread_testcancel()
pthread_testcancel().
Internal implementation perhaps as follows. See list of
functions that are cancellation points on OpenGroup.org. In
general:
- Remove asynchronous cancellation. All cancellations must
pend.
- Check if the thread is within cancellation region, then
treat like a signal to wake up with -ECANCELED vs -EINTER
For each function/cancellation point
- Call enter_cancellation region() on entry. Checks for
pending cancellation and marks "within cancellation region"
in TCB flags.
- Will wake-up with -ECANCELED if cancellation occurs.
- Call leave_cancellation region() on exit. Checks for
pending cancellation and marks NOT "within cancellation region"
Perhaps task_delete() should do the same kind of synchronization?
Status: Open. No changes are planned.
Priority: Low, probably not that useful
