Sequence of events:
1. A GPIOTE button interrupt in LPN schedules a handler routine.
2. Handler routine (called by app_scheduler()) makes a call to access_model_publish() (to send an unacknowledged message).
3. Somewhere in the call stack for access_model_publish(), the assert in mesh/core/src/timer_scheduler.c:214 is triggered.
It seems we are failing the check in bearer_event_in_correct_irq_priority(), but this call is made from a function called by app_scheduler() (aka: outside of any interrupt context).
To try to debug the issue further, I printed the interrupt values:
volatile IRQn_Type active_irq = hal_irq_active_get();
volatile uint32_t prio = NVIC_GetPriority(active_irq);
/* log, then wait 5ms for buffer to flush before triggering assert */
LOG_FLUSH("active irq %d with NVIC priority %d\n", active_irq, prio);
/* log output:
* "active irq -16 with NVIC priority 0"
*/
/* assert triggered here */
access_model_publish(/* ... */);
This code builds as-is with no warnings (using -Wall and -Wextra) on both SDK for Meshv v3.2.0 and v4.1.0.
This code runs with no issues (and is in production) on v3.2.0, but on v4.1.0 throws the above error.
Full build spec for v3.2.0:
