I've tested the latest snapshot of Mono and the problem remains:
Mono JIT compiler version 4.5.0 (Nightly 4.5.0.421/c5789eb Thu Mar 24
18:42:59 UTC 2016)

TLS: __thread
SIGSEGV: altstack

Architecture: amd64

GC: sgen
nUnit-gui now works properly (4.2.3.4 would hang when trying to close)
and using MONO debug variables (MONO_LOG_MASK="dll";
MONO_LOG_LEVEL="debug", I can see that the method "serial_close" is
called at the correct time, but I don't see any other activity while
blocked.
Mono: DllImport searching in: 'nserial' ('libnserial.so').

Any help is appreciated.

I've generally got my library working
(github.com/jcurl/serialportstream) on Linux with Mono 4.2.3.4 from
the Xamarin repositories on Ubuntu 16.04, with one small problem.
One new test case (ClosedWhenBlocked) takes 6923ms for a simple
close() function using marshalling, where the function in C only needs
22ms. It's called twice (there's two instances), the second is
effectively instantaneous. On my machine, the issue is 100%
reproducible. My C code and .NET is OK (as far as I can tell) and
appears to be some blocking behaviour in the Marshalling code of the
.NET framework. How can I debug further if it's me or .NET?
Note, I can't compare on Windows as it's Linux specific code.

The code in question is
[DllImport("nserial", EntryPoint="serial_close",
SetLastError=true)]
private static extern int nserial_close(IntPtr handle);
public int serial_close(IntPtr handle)
{
System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch sw = new
System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch();
sw.Start();
Console.WriteLine("--> serial_close({0})", handle);
int result = nserial_close(handle);
Console.WriteLine("--> serial_close({0}) took {1} ms",
handle, sw.ElapsedMilliseconds);
errno = Marshal.GetLastWin32Error();
Console.WriteLine("--> serial_close({0}) took {1} ms",
handle, sw.ElapsedMilliseconds);
return result;
}
I added diagnostics to my C code to write performance data to disk and
it is:
c: serial_close(handle=0x7fe044008d80)
c: serial_close(handle=0x7fe044008d80) fd=4
c: serial_close(handle=0x7fe044008d80) flushbuffer elapsed=0,005000
