Just rolled out a build against today's cvs (as a result of Matt's note) and no apparent EAGAIN issues on FreeBSD 4.11 - full XML stream is being returned, ~97K of data. Thanks, Gil --- Ian Cunningham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Martin, > > Now I have played around with delay code, this > ver

Martin, Now I have played around with delay code, this version has an exponential back off. The mode for the number of loops was 1 loop which implys your assumption is correct. The next highest frequency of occurrence for number of loops was 22, so waiting a very short bit either works, or do

Hi Ian, thanks for updation the patch. Puuhhh. That behaviour you describe is bad indeed. Seems either Cygwin or M$ are doing something stupid. One thought - you are calling apr_socket_send() at a high frequency in that loop. Have you played with inserting some delay code in the loop? Maybe w

Martin, Non-scientific numbers here for you. Connecting to the tcp port 600 times, print_host_metric() called apr_socket_send() at least 90,624 times. Of those 90,624 times, we got stuck in a EAGAIN while loop 1,190 times. On average that while loop looped 29,116.66 times, with maximum of 525

Hi Richard, correct. I was waiting for a comment from Ian on my concerns about possible endless loops before committing the patch. Ian: what do you think. Do you have any data how often you iterate those EAGAIN loops? Cheers Martin --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Gee, > > I thought that wa

Gil, This patch works on cygwin: http://bugzilla.ganglia.info/cgi-bin/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=26&action=view However there are two good suggestion that would make the patch much better. Martin suggests that its possible that the while loops could be infinite if we always get EAGAIN, so ther

Gee, I thought that was fixed with this patch: http://bugzilla.ganglia.info/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50 Actually, looking at 3.0.3 gmond.c, it looks like the patch did not make it into the release - that's a shame. Even looking at the patch, it looks as if it is a partial fix, because wh
