OK, that all makes sense. I'll add a "todo" to make sure that is fixed
up before we merge the state machine changes.

Hi Walt,
What is the motivation of the "posted" list? Is it to allow server
requests that are in progress to complete, but not allow any new ones to
start (since we are exiting)? If so, I think it would be much better to
stop the new requests at the point where they are "started" (which I'm
working on right now anyway). Otherwise, it would make more sense to
try to get BMI to not receive the new messages in the first place. In
neither case does freeing the s_op seem the right way to do it.
yep, that was the intent. I did not realize that doing it the way I did
would not stop new requests from showing up.
Feel free to do anything that makes most sense then :)
I'm doing my last conversion right now anyway, so I can implement this
easily, but I need to know what effect we're trying to get.
What you described above was what I was trying to achieve but obviously
did not :)
thanks for cleaning that up!

Hi walt,
Hmmm. Did it ever actually work?
I hope so.. :-)
Any reason why you think it does not work? I will fix it appropriately
then..
We had fixed a bug recently with the request scheduler that
seemed to manifest as a signal handler termination bug but that was just
fixed recently..so that was unrelated.
Well, whatever, its not going to work now. I'll see if I can figure out
a clean way to provide the functionality.
Okay; do let me know what the issues are :)
thanks,

Hi Walt,
server_purge_unexpected_recv_machines(void)
is that a new function? and under what circumstances is it used?
Fairly recent function. This gets called only from the signal handler for
the server and what it does is to remove any previously posted sm's
to field unexpected messages in preparation for the server to exit.
So no more new messages will be received after the server gets a signal to
terminate gracefully.
Thanks,
Murali
