[SOLVED] Problem with pthread + Embedded linux and threads limits

I'm currently working on a project with embedded linux and came across a problem creating threads. My process often launch a thread to threat an event, but after the number of events outnumber the thread limit of the system (919 max threads), the threads stop working properly, and the system become slow.

I tried increase the thread limit of the kernel (
/proc/sys/kernel/threads-max) and use setrlimit(RLIMIT_NPROC), but neither solved the problem.

One solution would be create one thread to threat all the events, and not one thread for each one, but i would like to know if there is a way to let unlimited the number of threads.

no, you cannot have unlimited number of threads. Also you need to exit unused threads (I mean after the event handled the thread should be properly exited)

The threads exit after the events are threated, but the limit is still valid even after the threads are closed. I'll use just one thread to threat all the events, solves the problem and uses less resources. Thanks for the reply
