Sean, our application is using OFED 1.1 under SLES10.
It is a point to point IB connection from a high speed image scanner to a workstation. The application is out in the market for about a year. Now I get complains from the field that they do have dead pthreads hanging around that are stuck in the ib_cm_get_event call. For your explanation I'm creating a new pthread for every new attempt to connect from the workstation to the image scanner. This will happen only when one does re-power the image scanner while having a connection established, this might happen often as once a week to once a month. The reason for the complains now are that the thread's hanging in the ib_cm_get_event consume system resources and might block the system after some 40 power cyles. They don't want/can't restart the workstation application in order to get the old phreads destroyed. So my question is: How can I get a pthread out of the ib_cm_get_event call? Thanks in advance for your help Thomas Bub ................................................................................
