    Hi,
       
        If user creates a timer(task T1) with posix real time API:
    timer_create with the highest priority real time signal (SIGRTMIN)
    which will deliver a signal asynchronously on timeout. If another user
    task with higher priority (T2) gets created at the same instant when
    signal handler is supposed to deliver signal to the timer task T1.

    Which one will get the higher priority?

     I would like to know if posix high resolution timers with signal
    handlers have the highest priority irrespective of any user task(real
    time or non real time task). How does it get handle in monta vista
    linux kernel(RTOS)?

      Your answer will help me to decide design approach.

    Thanks,
    -Jyoti
