Dear Hackers, Does WITNESS keeps track of particular mutex instance or just places where particular mutex type was acquired and released? Is it even possible to keep track of individual instance of the particular mutex type?
Here is my problem. In my code (Bluetooth sockets layers) each socket/PCB has a mutex. The mutex type is the same. Also there are few global mutexes that used to protect sockets/PCBs list etc. Now when i do testing and both client and server reside on the same machine, i, sometimes, get "lock order reversal" messages. All messages can be put into two groups: : 1) Both mutexes are particular instances of the two different types. 2) One mutex is global and another is particular instance of the particular type. These messages are bugging me and i want to get to the bottom of this. How i can verify/convince myself that these messages are not problems? How should i deal with multiple mutex instances? Will WITNESS be able to help me here? thanks, max To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
