I had those problems too a while ago on a UP p3-650 laptop.  Finally I just
newfs'ed the machine and installed the 20001028 snapshot, then cvsupp'ed
to 20001122.  The laptop now works well.  What I saw was processes
forking and forking again until the machine runs out of memory and
swap.  I think it may be some old libraries left over from
upgrades and make world.

strange behaviour of mkioctls in kdump/truss

2000-11-16 Thread Mark Santcroos

Hi,

Since I've moved to -CURRENT a few weeks ago [I'm fairly new to FreeBSD] I
had build problems with kdump and truss.

The problem I report here are as far as I can judge them, sorry for any
errors or inconsistencies. I've tried to find something about an earlier
bug report but could not find any.

The problem consisted of the definition for TELNO_MAX not defined or
included in /usr/include/machine/i4b_rbch_ioctl.h.

The definition for this is in /usr/include/machine/i4b_ioctl.h.

By coincidence the building of kdump/truss succeeds, due to the fact that
mkioctl uses find(1) for the retreiving of the include files.
And because i4b_ioctl.h is alphabetical in front of i4b_rbch_ioctl.h it
will be included before i4b_rbch_ioctl.h and therefor the value for
TELNO_MAX is already defined on the moment i4b_rbch_ioctl.h is included.

Due to some reason I don't know yet [please enlighten me on this]
i4b_rbch_ioctl.h appeared before i4b_ioctl.h in _my_ ioctl.c!
[Although like I told find(1) uses alphabetical order ?!?!]
This happened still after various builds and cleans, etc.
But after I have touched the files a bit [e.g. editing them for testing]
they do also appear in the right order for me now.

So in my case make buildworld stopped on this error because it did not
know the value of TELNO_MAX, which is correct as far as it goes for the
compiler part.

Anyway, like I said earlier, due to some luck it went well for a long
time. [that is why nobody reported it before probably, otherwise shoot me]

The solution to this seems to be simple:

#include  in i4b_rbch_ioctl.h

Don't hesitate to ask me anything more (that I forgot).

Regards,

Mark

Have those in too...

It still cant compile a kernel, it hangs itself in ~30 secs, no messages,
no hints, no nothing, the machine just locks up solid as usual..

I ran into the same thing a lot on our main intranet server (Solaris
7).. what it ended up being was pretty simple. I used to compile most of
my stuff in /tmp (now I do it in ~/compiling), and sometimes do the bad
thing (relative paths.. enough said) of extracting stuff as root in
/tmp.

Some tarfiles would then extract into . and reset the permissions of . -
for instance, McAfee for UNIX virus updates. The permissions would get
reset to 755. And of course, I'd get tons of user complaints that things
were messing up for them (for instance, uw-imap).

Just wanted to share one possible explanation.. this sure had us fooled
for a few weeks.

Two questions:

1) What revision of sys/kern/kern_synch.c do you have?  I fixed several things
yesterday, and the latest version is 1.108.
2) If you do have the latest version, have you compiled a kernel with WITNESS,
INVARIANTS, and INVARIANT_SUPPORT to see how it runs?

Also, I have noticed that occasionally on my SMP boxes the console seems to
lose itself.  By lose itself, I mean that all output stops, and it doesn't
process any input.  If I hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to break into the debugger, it
suddenly catches up and processes all pending events before dropping into teh
debugger, but hangs again when I continue from ddb.  However, the rest of hte
machine works fine during this time.  I can ssh in, build kernels, reboot, etc.
without any problem.

You test case is incorrect. Following quote from flock(2) explains why:
[...]
NOTES
 Locks are on files, not file descriptors.  That is, file descriptors du-
 plicated through dup(2) or fork(2) do not result in multiple instances of
 a lock, but rather multiple references to a single lock.  If a process
 holding a lock on a file forks and the child explicitly unlocks the file,
 the parent will lose its lock.
[...]

Actually, it does work in Irix.  I'll try that under FreeBSD.

That seems to have fixed the problem under FreeBSD, although it might be
a 
good idea to mention somewhere in the manpage that shared file
descriptors 
are handled differently than they are in other OSes (Irix for instance). 
This is the kind of caveat that is likely to catch the unsuspecting
developer.

Yeah, I tossed this program together last year when someone said they
couldn't get file locking to work under FreeBSD, I wanted to see if
it was working at all.  The only "syncronization" is that the processes
wait for a second before writing, which in my case was enough (unloaded
PII 400s with no disk activity can get a write out in less than 1
second).

John just checked in some code last night that may address your
problems.

I would try a new kernel, and perhaps some collabaration with John
to debug these problems rather than just complaining about the
situation.  I see at least two experianced developers in the CC
list, there's no reason for these poor bug reports.

I have the same problem on a dual PII 400mhz.
I haven't tried to remove the SMP support, but I have not too much time
to cvsup and to make anything else.

I'll try to boot the GENERIC (damn !%&!& , I always repeat to myself 
that is a good habits to compile the GENERIC too after updates... 
but I never do... :-( )

I can see at least two problems with the test program.

1) You're locking a shared descriptor. Possibly that should work, but
   it's not a case I normally see. Moving the open after the fork
   makes this behave better.

2) You're depending on a synchronization between the two process, but
   not doing anything to insure it.  The correct test is not that the
   last message was the child string, but that the last two messages
   are the same.

Actually, my first test was to change this to "lock, prompt, write,
unlock, exit", then run it in two windows. The first process pauses -
with the file locked - and the second hangs until the user responds to
the prompt.

No idea, the system just freezes, no drob to DDB no remote gdb no
nothing, so its really hard to tell where...
As to how, just boot current on a fairly fast machine, make a kernel
and it'll hang in minutes if not less, or just leave it alone and 
it will hang in 10-30 mins...

Not the FreeBSD's file locking works anyway.  
Here's the results from a test of the below program:

And another test:
%kenshin (1 ~): uname -a
IRIX kenshin 6.5 01221642 IP20

flock(2) is fully functional.

I hope I'm doing something wrong here, and that flock really does work

It is misconfigured (or perhaps just broken).  1777 mode for /var/mail
is insecure, but was necessary in the mists of ancient past, before
UNIX learned to do file locking.  Unless your mail spool is shared
over NFS (don't do that), locking is reliable and .lock files should
never be used or relied upon.

You mean "is still freezing" right ?

Current has been like this for longer than I care to think about, it
seems those in charge doesn't take these problems seriously (enough)...

I've started doing development on -stable instead, it goes nowhere
on -current

I have a similar problem -- every time I make world, perms on /var/mail
get set to 775.  Mutt considers my mailbox read-only until I change it
to 1777.  Is there a supported way to locally override BSD.var.dist, or
do I need to install mutt setgid mail, or what?

RE: vmwareport does not work

2000-11-16 Thread Reinier Bezuidenhout

Hi ... 
I'll give my worth of what the messages actually mean ..

> i get 
> 
> kldload: can't load /usr/local/lib/vmware/lib/modules/vmmon_up.ko: File
> exists

This means the vmmon_up is already loaded  - do a   kldstat

> sysctl: unknown oid 'net.link.ether.bridge_refresh'

Seems like you do not have bridging compiled into the kernel ??

> kldload: can't load if_tap.ko: File exists

This also axists already - same as vmmon_up above

> ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists

The ifconfig fails because it has already been done on bootup
with the vmnet device - that's why the error  "File exists"

> 
> what' s wrong then ? 
> 

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong ... except that bridging
isn't on (I think), but depending on how you use vmware networking
it is not a show stopper.

For me it is a ASUS P2B-DS with 512M RAM.

I see the same isa_dmainit failed with full ram utilized. With MAXMEM
set to MAXMEM="(464*1024)" it is working under current. With 480M it
is failing.

I looked through the sources and found that contigousmalloc can't find
a page of physical ram under the 16M margin. But I am not vm wizzard
enough, to understand what the difference is with MAXMEM set to some
lower value than the real amount of memory.

Frank
