Hi, Recently we hit a problem with one of our file systems where 2 kernel threads were killed holding a kmutex. Due to this all the applications which use the fs blocked waiting for the kmutex.
I am wondering why there is no synchronization type equivalent to USYNC_PROCESS_ROBUST (which essentially releases the pthread_mutex if the owner dies) for kmutex. I am sure many must have had this kind of problem, will there be any issue if the mutex held by a dead thread be released after some time? Thanks, Ramana -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
