RH9 MythTV CVS (as of yesterday) Remote frontend
This may have happened when I killed my remote frontend as I prepared to upgrade to today's CVS on it. The backend went into and endless loop of:
2005-03-07 21:37:35.423 unknown socket 2005-03-07 21:38:01.197 unknown socket 2005-03-07 21:38:09.456 waiting for a thread.. 2005-03-07 21:38:09.481 waiting for a thread.. 2005-03-07 21:38:09.514 waiting for a thread.. 2005-03-07 21:38:09.543 waiting for a thread.. 2005-03-07 21:38:09.573 waiting for a thread.. [snip] 2005-03-07 22:21:35.556 waiting for a thread.. 2005-03-07 22:21:35.586 waiting for a thread.. 2005-03-07 22:21:35.646 waiting for a thread..
Until I killed it with a restart. During this time I had restarted the frontend a number of times but would not get a response from the backend due to it being caught in that loop. It was definitely caught in readSocket from the backend:
void MainServer::readSocket(void)
{
RefSocket *socket = (RefSocket *)sender(); PlaybackSock *testsock = getPlaybackBySock(socket);
if (testsock && testsock->isExpectingReply())
return;readReadyLock.lock();
ProcessRequestThread *prt = NULL;
while (!prt)
{
threadPoolLock.lock();
if (!threadPool.empty())
{
prt = threadPool.back();
threadPool.pop_back();
}
threadPoolLock.unlock(); if (!prt)
{
VERBOSE(VB_ALL, "waiting for a thread..");
usleep(50);
}
}prt->setup(socket);
readReadyLock.unlock(); }
I'm not familiar enough with that code to know why it got stuck in there but maybe someone else can see a way that could get a backend out of that endless looping situation. Thanks.
