Hy there.
I'm looking for a way to trigger a vanilla/plain/nonRT kernel event from a
RT-process.
The RT-process does a 

mark_bh(MY_BH);

so when the cpu falls back to LinuX it calls the 

void my_bh( void ){}

as setup before. This seems to work, but I'm not shure
if I will run into a race condition or preemption trouble.
In this case my mechanism will only work mostly.

Is there any better way??
Does this realy work??
Who is deep enough in RtLinuX to know this??

ThanX Jens
