Just installed -rc5, system very slow, noticed klogd in a tight loop
doing a "read". -rc4 is OK.
Sorry, I have printk configured off, so I don't have any logs.
Thanks,
John

And, predictably, reads from /proc/kmsg aren't blocking.
I can't see what might have caused that. Are you sure that 2.6.19-rc4 was
OK? And are you sure that nothing else has changed on that system?

Here, both rc4 and rc5 do the same if printk is configured out.
Why do we have a /proc/ksmg when nothing can get to it?

Well duh, of course it does. Testing and _then_ looking at the source
was not the correct order in this case :)
> Why do we have a /proc/ksmg when nothing can get to it?
The sensible thing seemed to be to whack it, but when I did that, klogd
just switched interfaces, and proceeded to eat 100% cpu doing
syslog(0x2, 0xb7fc0008, 0x1ffff) instead. Leaving it in place, but
making it block to simulate an empty buffer works fine, but seems kinda
cheezy.
Whacking /proc/kmsg, and making sys_syslog() block on read to simulate
the empty buffer seemed much better, but SuSE's boot scripts hang when
they try to create /var/log/boot.msg ala /sbin/klogd -s -o -n
-f /var/log/boot.msg. That seems to work now only because there is
always something there to grab.
The correct answer seems to be "fix klogd, or don't disable printk".

I don't like that answer one bit. I think it's much better to remove
the syslog interface when printk is disabled rather than leave it in
place for userland to trip over.
