Scott mentioned that upstart is not as dependent on ppoll/pselect as it
once was so it shouldn't be a problem anymore.
The ppoll/pselect patch is now upstream in 2.6.32
(369842658a36bcea28ecb643ba4bdb53919330dd). If we feel the need, it can
be cherry-picked into the Karmic ARM kernels (Marvell

Attached a new testcase. Rather than use the libc pselect() wrapper, the
new testcase has its own wrapper for pselect.
Compile with:
gcc -o childspin -DUSE_PSELECT_WRAPPER -Wall childspin.c
Running this on a patched kernel (from Amit's comment 16), the program
does not show the blocking
We've survived this far w/o the patch. Now Jeremy is looking at the
glibc side as well. Marking down the importance.

udev is a lot less sensitive to this now, the side effect won't be a
stuck boot, just a bunch of zombie worker processes
Looks like the glibc syscall wrapper is getting in the way here; the
test run in my previous comment was still using select() even though
pselect is available. Once I get hold of some hardware, will do some
hacking with the wrapper components.

Just tried the attached build, and the childspin example still hangs.
However, it looks like it's waiting somewhere in do_exit, rather than
the previous deadlock, which seems to be waiting in
poll_schedule_timeout
Will see if I can find more about what's happening here.

Number one priority obviously got reprioritized :-/
Anyways, I finally have a patch that I would appreciate some testing on.
Please apply the attached patch to a recent kernel (2.6.30+) and try the
test program (childspin.c) attached to this bug on an arm board. You
ought to be able to test this

Added to the release notes:
Occasional hangs possible on ARM architecture
The ARM port currently does not support the ppoll() pselect() system
syscalls, which will sometimes cause a failure to mount the root
filesystem on boot. This is a race condition, and retrying the boot will

It's a race condition. It's difficult to write a program guaranteed

As the program demonstrates, the biggest problem is missed SIGCHLDs.
I'm actually quite surprised by how fast the program demonstrates the
problem, I was actually expecting you to need to run it for a minute or
two before a hang happens. For me, it hangs within mere hundreds of
iterations.
