Problem
WHen writing to memory addresses that are shared with multiple processes/tasks - the normal Read-Modify-Write solution can cause problems if another task i scheduled to run before the Read-Modify-Write cycle is finished and the new task makes its own Read-Modify-Write on the same shared address.
This problem could occur in the configuration Registers of Peripheral - fx. Timers, Interrupt Controllers.
Example
The Timer Enable Register (TER) at address 0x4001 is used to enable Timer 1 and Timer 2.
| bit 7 | bit 6 | bit 5 | bit 4 | bit 3 | bit 2 | bit 1 | bit 0 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| X | X | X | X | X | 1 = Enable Timer 2 0 = Disable Timer 2 |
1 = Enable Timer 1 0 = Disable Timer 1 |
X |
Timer 1 is used by Task A and Timer 2 is used by Task B.
| Step | Operation | Task value | TER at 0x4001 | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0000 0000 | |||
| 1 | Task A Reads TER | 0000 0000 | 0000 0000 | |
| 2 | RTOS task switch to Task B | 0000 0000 | 0000 0000 | |
| 3 | Task B Reads TER | 0000 0000 | 0000 0000 | |
| 4 | Task B Modify read Value to start Timer 2 | 0000 0100 | 0000 0000 | |
| 5 | Task B Write TER | 0000 0100 | 0000 0100 | Timer 2 start |
| 6 | RTOS task switch to Task A | 0000 0000 | 0000 0000 | |
| 7 | Task A Modify read Value to start Timer 1 | 0000 0010 | 0000 0100 | |
| 8 | Task A Write TER | 0000 0010 | 0000 0010 | Timer 1 start and Timer 2 Stop unattentional |
Avoiding
In systems without Bit Banding or Atomic Bit Manipulation it's necessary to disable interrupt during the Read-Modify-Write operation when accessing shared resources.
