Greetings, We're currently running a course using UML to do some kernel developement but have run into a confusing snag. Our host machines are pretty much stock Fedora (FC2) boxes running kernel 2.6.9-1.6_FC2smp and our UML kernels are 2.4.27 (clean kernel source, 2.4.27uml patch).
When we start a process under UML, a corresponding kernel thread is started on the host (which is normal and to be expected) but when the process under UML exits the corresponding host thread does not exit (which is not expected). After a short time, of course, the host is swamped with thousands of processes, all of which exit cleanly when the UML is halted or killed. I cannot replicate this behaviour on a clean 2.6.7, 2.6.7 SMP, or 2.6.8 SMP kernel (on other systems) and our admin tells us that this problem did not exist on these same machines running FC1. If anyone has any input about a cause or fix to this issue, I would be greatly appreciative! Thanks, -Dan Nurmi ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
