Writes blocking even when max_blocking_time is zero

Hello

In our system where we use KeepLastReliable.TransientLocal data writers, we've observed the DDS write calls sometimes block for several seconds even though we have configured max_blocking_time to zero.

Trying to get the stack trace of thread that is blocking, I've seen two different variations:

#0 0x76d4a334 in __lll_lock_wait (futex=futex@entry=0x40bf9a4, private=0) at .../lowlevellock.c:46
#1 0x76d428bc in __GI___pthread_mutex_lock (mutex=0x40bf9a4) at .../pthread_mutex_lock.c:80

#7 0x76bfb0d8 in DDSDataWriter_impl::write_untypedI(void const*, PRESInstanceHandle const&) ()
 from .../libnddscpp.so

and

 from .../libnddscpp.so

What is causing this blocking behavior, and is there any way to avoid it for example through using some Qos parameters? We are using RTI DDS 5.3.0.
