From: "Eric Anderson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I saw this once before, a long time back, and every time I went through a debugging session, it came to some kind of lock on the
sysctl tree with regards to the geom info (maybe the XML kind of tree dump or something). I don't recall all the details, but
it was something like that.
Yep thats where I've traced it to its requesting: kern.geom.confxml
Which does:-
static int
sysctl_kern_geom_confxml(SYSCTL_HANDLER_ARGS)
{
int error;
struct sbuf *sb;
sb = sbuf_new(NULL, NULL, 0, SBUF_AUTOEXTEND);
g_waitfor_event(g_confxml, sb, M_WAITOK, NULL);
error = SYSCTL_OUT(req, sbuf_data(sb), sbuf_len(sb) + 1);
sbuf_delete(sb);
return error;
}
What I dont understand is why this would lock the entire machine.
I've enabled LOCK_PROFILING and reran and I get the following which
seems to indicate the culpret is: SYSCTL_LOCK()
From what I can tell g_waitfor_event is returning EAGAIN for a large
amount of time which means we get stuck in:-
userland_sysctl
...
SYSCTL_LOCK();
do {
req.oldidx = 0;
req.newidx = 0;
error = sysctl_root(0, name, namelen, &req);
} while (error == EAGAIN);
if (req.lock == REQ_WIRED && req.validlen > 0)
vsunlock(req.oldptr, req.validlen);
SYSCTL_UNLOCK();
...
The only reason I can see for returning EAGAIN is g_destroy_geom
calling g_cancel_event
To confirm this wasnt related to anything that top is doing and
we are seeing a total lockup I used:
sh -c 'while [ 1 ]; do sleep 1; date; done'

So after all that I can see why the sysctl call is taking
so long to complete but the burning question is why does
the entire system lock because of this? What else is
waiting on the sysctl lock which is so critical?
