[Ovmsdev] Netmanager priority issue solved / PSRAM still buggy

[Michael Balzer]

That mutex fix was a giant leap forward in stability.

My module has now been running for a whole week without a single WDT /
event overflow. Well, one, but that was kind of expected, I had an
unfiltered CAN log running in the web UI via a poor Wifi connection.
Still will try to prevent that, but that's a different issue.

There still have been some (few!) WDT and event queue starvations in the
field. I had some detail reports from users and will try to find the cause.

But according to the latest comment to the PSRAM issue
(https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/2892#issuecomment-667099130)
the fix in the official release had a regression. In some cases, the bug
will occur again. The report issue #5423 had the effect of this freezing
the LwIP task, which would create the WDT / event issue for us as well.
I'd rather apply the coming toolchain fix release first.

I'll keep you informed about the toolchain progress.

Regards,
Michael
