Steven Critchfield has posted details of a patch to reduce the risk of running Asterisk in pseudo realtime mode:
Pinging fellow developers to look at this patch and possibly make comments on this buglet.
http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=4930
It simply makes the set_priority function globally accessible and changes it's name to ast_set_priority. Then at any point where we need to reduce priority we can call it to take care of the priority in a nice portable manner.
And in AGI after we fork but before we exec the agi script, we reduce our priority to keep from starving asterisk.
Those worried about asterisk running as a psuedo realtime app due to busy loops locking the machine should realize this reduces your risk of locking up as it keeps your AGI apps from being able to load up the machine too much in a busy loop.
