Best way to force a process preempt (for troubleshooting)
Greetings, I'm trying to test for the possibility of interleaved data when two more more processes are writing to a pipe and more than PIPE_BUF bytes need to be written. How can I make a situation where this scenario can be caused reliably so I can make my test case, then apply my patch and make sure the changes worked? Additionally, in one case the processes are created from fork() and in another case they are threads (not sure if this makes any difference to the scheduler.) Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

[no subject]
im writing an iSCSI initiator, which is 'almost' beta, but now im getting into trouble. to exercise the system im doing: cd / rsh some-host -n dump 0f - /somefilesystem | restore rf - this o- works fine with no tags on UP/SMP hosts o- works fine with tags and UP o- gets stuck with tags and SMP the restore is usualy waiting on biord. so my guess is some timing problem, or some resource stagnation, but can't see anything suspicious. the system is responsive, for a while then it gets stuck solid in nfs not respondig ... the system is diskless :-) so any ideas on how to back track this problem? the system is running 5.4-PRERELEASE, but was showing the same with 5.3 the network nic is Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection, Version - 1.7.35 and the cpu is a dual Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.06GHz thanks, danny ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Ziatech 5503 watchdog driver
Hey, I'm busy writing a Ziatech 5503 watchdog driver for FreeBSD (and porting all the watchdog stuff to DragonFly BSD) and Plan 9. For my driver, I have no way to identify that the system has the driver, so I wanted to make it conditional on options ZT5503 existing in the kernel configuration file. I have a couple of related questions: 1) Where in the tree should my zt5503wd.c file be placed? 2) Regarding watchdog.h; this device supports other times than those provided from between 250MS to 256S. Hope nobody minds this changing :). 3) To make sure I understand how this works: o The device is compiled in / loaded o watchdogd is used to tell the system to start the timer o I get a bunch of flags in my eventhandler function's 2nd argument that I can then use to write to my device's registers with the proper information The first and third questions are the most important, I think. --Devon pgpKSN1sdBwYt.pgp Description: PGP signature

that might shed some light as to where its coming from... as for the
bootup the [EMAIL PROTECTED] is just that you compiled the kernel as that,

Depending on the circumstances, it may also be appropriate to add an
access control check in the form:
error = p_cansignal(td, p);
if (error) {
PROC_UNLOCK(p);
return (error);
}
Where 'td' is the requesting thread, and 'p' is the target process.
