I am working on fedora core 7, kernel version 2.6.21, gcc version
4.1.2. I have my user space application which communicate with my char
driver using write and read system calls. I have a thread in
application to send data to driver and concurrently a signal handler
(user space) is register. write calls is invoking continuously and
read call is also invoking continuously on notification from driver.
Here am facing a problem of "futex_wait" at one time. Even though my
user space application has no mutex locking, FUTEX_WAIT is called and
nothing proceeds after this.
I got below lines form strace of my process and always getting lock at
same address.
--- SIGRT_15 (Real-time signal 13) at (no spam) 0 (0) ---
futex(0x4aa700b0, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL
please guide me to solve this issue or what could be reason for above
things.
if need any more info, i will give u. |

Attach to the process with 'gdb' and see what function it's in.

This can still cause all kinds of weird effects, especially when the
process is multi-threaded. A more robust way to use gdb in such a
situation is to send a SIGQUIT (3) to the program (Ctrl-\) and run gdb
with the binary and the resulting coredump[*] as argument.
[*] In absence of deliberate sabotage, eg, as in fetchmail,
this can be enabled by using ulimit -c <size in K>. |
