Is it valid to call vTaskResume() from ISR?

Hello, I need to stop task execution until event occurs. I detect this event in ISR. May I use vTaskSuspend(0) to suspend task and resume it later with vTaskResume() call from ISR. I’ve tried both cooperative and preemption modes, in both cases I’ve got similar results – the task does not work properly after resuming (in some cases stack is corrupted, other unexpected behaviour is also detected). Before I dig in my code with bug search, I’d like to know is it legal to call vTaskResume from ISR. From what I saw in sources, it should be, but I didn’t found explicit statement which confirms this. WBR, Alexander

Is it valid to call vTaskResume() from ISR?

From a quick look at the source I would suggest: TaskSuspend cannot be used from an ISR. TaskResume can be used from an ISR provided the task being resumed has a priority less than the task that was interrupted. The problem if the task being resumed has a priority higher than or equal to the current (interrupted) task is that a yield will be called.  This cannot be done from an ISR.  Each port provides a way of calling a yield at the end of the ISR function (portEND_SWITCHING_ISR macro in my case). If you want to resume a task from an ISR then either block the task using a queue and unblock it using a queuesendfromisr() call but this is not efficient, or modify the code so that the vTaskResume() function does not call yield.  If you want you can get vTaskResume to return a bool to say if a yield is required or not.  This is the difference between queue send and queue send from isr.

It seems to be exactly my case — suspended task is of higher priority. Thank you for the clarification, I’ll redesign my app.

I think what you want is a queue (or semaphore). xQueueSendFromISR() or xSemaphoreGiveFromISR() is what the ISR would call to wake the task.
