So I thought... also, kthread_suspend() doesn't call exit1(), does it?
No matter what, ithd_loop() calls kthread_exit() which calls exit1()
which happily MALLOC's with M_WAITOK...
Something is messed up, indeed, but it seems to be a case of WISIWYG instead
of what I mean... ;-)
Also, I think this issue has been there longer but it might have been masked
by me not having INVARIANTS defined at times (am I correct to read the code as
not panicing #ifndef INVARIANTS?). So I am going back before this revision:
revision 1.78
date: 2001/01/21 19:25:07; author: jake; state: Exp; lines: +3 -2
Make intr_nesting_level per-process, rather than per-cpu. Setup
interrupt threads to run with it always >= 1, so that malloc can
detect M_WAITOK from "interrupt" context. This is also necessary
in order to context switch from sched_ithd() directly.
Re: the strace db trace above, is it possible that it might be because I have:
CFLAGS ?= -O -pipe -mcpu=i686 -march=i686
COPTFLAGS ?= -O -pipe -mcpu=i686 -march=i686
in make.conf? I put these after somebody mentioned using it here...
Bye,
Andrea
