Abstract
A method, system and program storage device for preventing a real-time application from running out of free threads when the real-time application receives a device interface request. A set of special data packets for the main user application is provided. Shared functions are provided as part of the device interface to indicate the error condition when there is no more free thread and for a utility program to recognize a retry is needed. Thus, the retry mechanism is embedded in the shared functions running on both the main user application and all utility programs.
