Re: Current stalls...(now also panic)

2001-01-02 Thread Edwin Culp

Szilveszter,

I've got some other weird problems with cores and panics but vi is the only
one that I can define well enough.  I'm also taking all USB support from the
kernels that have it to see if my other strange problems disappear like access
to mysql databases with php4 cvs and some strange library problems that I am
having with my new XFree4.0.2_3 with kde-2.0.1 and LinuxNetscape that I just
installed on Dec. 31. (Poor timing, but sorting these things out is what makes
life interesting :-)

Thanks,

ed

Mark,

Thanks a lot.  I read Marc's mail first so I'm trying the -k solution first
but I will also take USB support out of the kernels that have it.

Thanks,

ed

  I see the same panic. I managed to collect some info in kern/23935.
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=23935
I can reliably reproduce it.

No, no USB devices (nor USB support in the kernel.)

Also, I was not trying to use gdb (I tried that two days ago, with
strikingly similar results though:-) This panic is somewhat elusive: I
cannot readily trigger it it seems. Will stress system to see what gives.

BTW: I do not know if it was intentional but I see a *lot* fewer pcm0:
hwptr went backwards messages with very recent -CURRENT and indeed sound
output is a lot more continous, even under load. Congrats to whoever did
it! (probably cg)

I have a -current stall or hang, also.

I do NOT have USB support in my kernel.

Running gdb on hello.c, the standard hello, world, will cause the
stall or hang.  Keyboard input is echoed, but, no action.

I see this also.  If you aren't using USB but have it compiled into your
kernel try commenting out all the "device" entries after "# USB support"
in the config file.  A kernel built without USB may not show the hangs.

I think there is a buglet that has krept into the USB code within the
last couple of weeks.

Hi!

Maybe this is related, maybe not... I upgraded to the latest CURRENT
available this morning and now I also see occasional (albeit short) hangs
sometimes, although the machine seems to be responsive otherwise. 

But, not only that, I also got a cool panic while trying to do some stuff
(like compiling the docs) and pressing Ctrl-Z in another tty. No X, no
nothing. I was dropped into the debugger, but since I am not a ddb artist,
I tried to avoid to type the whole trace by hand and in the process managed
to reboot the box... oh well. Next time I will know.

But, the panic message was this:

panic: blockable mtx_enter() of lockmgr interlock when not legal @
../../kern/kern_lock.c:247

Maybe this rings a bell with someone. The error was appearently caught by
WITNESS, which I also have enabled in my kernel (albeit without
MUTEX_DEBUG, because *that* really made it impossible to do anything
sensible on the machine...)

Hardware-wise, nothing fancy here... UP PII-233, 128M non-ECC RAM, all-IDE,
two disks, one CD-ROM. Next time, I promise to write down all the
details... but just wanted to chime in quickly since this might be related
to the hangs other people are seeing, but maybe they don't panic() because
they don't have WITNESS enabled (just speculating)
