Hi,
In my multi-threaded program I am using "pthread_rwlock_rdlock" to lock
read/write mutex which is initialized with "PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK"
Under load, call to "pthread_rwlock_rdlock" hangs indefinitely even though
there are no writers holding the lock. Even after i stop load on my program,
call is still hung. I tried to take the mutex condition when it was locked,
please find here:
(gdb) p m_lock
$2 = {__data = {__lock = 0, __nr_readers = 1, __readers_wakeup = 60,
__writer_wakeup = 1230, __nr_readers_queued = 2, __nr_writers_queued = 48,
__writer= 0, __pad1 = 0, __pad2 = 0, __pad3 = 0, __flags = 0},
__size =
"\000\000\000\000\001\000\000\000<\000\000\000\316\004\000\000\002\000\000\000\060",
'\000' <repeats 34 times>, __align = 4294967296}
After that I changed my lock from "pthread_rwlock_rdlock"
to "pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock" and under load this new lock used to return
EAGAIN sometimes.
My question is why "pthread_rwlock_rdlock" hangs indefinitely. If there are
more readers then it should return EAGAIN.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
