Hi folks, I am running into a problem with AIO in Samba 3.6.x under FreeBSD 8.0 and I want to check if the assumptions made by the original coder are correct.
Essentially, the code queues a number of AIO requests (up to 100) and specifies an RT signal to be sent upon completion with siginfo_t. These are placed into an array. The code assumes that when handling one of these signals, if it has already received N such siginfo_t structures, it can BLOCK further instances of the signal while these structures are drained by the main code in Samba. However, my debugging suggests that if a bunch of signals have already been queued, you cannot block those undelivered but already queued signals. I am certain that they are all being delivered to the main thread and that they keep coming despite the code trying to stop them at 64 (they get all the way up to the 100 that were queued.) Can someone confirm whether I have this correct or not? _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
