Hello,
as you may have noticed, there was thread about ipmitool getting
stucked. I dug into this issue and found the problem.
Line to blame is:
~~~ 'src/plugins/open/open.c' ~~~
if (select(intf->fd+1, &rset, NULL, NULL, NULL) < 0) {
lperror(LOG_ERR, "I/O Error");
return NULL;
}
~~~ 'src/plugins/open/open.c' ~~~
Using select() here is good/wise. However select() is never going to
time-out, because time-out is set to NULL. I believe I can patch it in
the very same way, at least for time-out option, as LAN/LAN-PLUS is
patched by Harshad Prabhu. Yet, I'm wondering whether it is a good
idea to do so. Whether there is some reason why this, open driver -
KCS interface, should never ever time-out.
Thank you for your comments.
Regards,
Z.
