[Xenomai-help] rt_cond_wait doesn't timeout (xenomai 2.4.1)

[Xenomai-help] rt_cond_wait doesn't timeout (xenomai 2.4.1)

[Anders Blomdell]

Hi,

with xenomai 2.4.1 my call to:

  rt_cond_wait(&cond, &mutex, 1000);

doesn't timeout (signalling works OK). Kernel version is 2.6.23.12, can it be
due to CONFIG_NO_HZ=y, or have I misunderstood something?

Regards

Anders Blomdell

What is your system timer setting ? Are you running in periodic or
aperiodic mode ? If aperiodic, 1000 ticks means 1000 ns, that is 1us,
so rt_cond_wait should return instantaneously.

OK, here comes a simplified program that just outputs A, and then hangs.

#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <native/cond.h>
#include <native/mutex.h>
#include <native/task.h>
#include <native/timer.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  RT_MUTEX mutex;
  RT_COND cond;
  RT_TASK task_main;

  mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE);

  rt_task_shadow(&task_main, "main", 1, T_FPU);
  if (rt_mutex_create(&mutex, NULL)) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Failed to create mutex\n");
    exit(1);
  }
  if (rt_cond_create (&cond, NULL)) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Failed to create condition\n");
    exit(1);
  }

  if (rt_timer_set_mode(TM_ONESHOT)) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Failed to set timer mode\n");
    exit(1);
  }

  rt_mutex_acquire(&mutex, TM_INFINITE);
  printf("A\n");
  rt_cond_wait(&cond, &mutex, 1000);
  printf("B\n");
  rt_mutex_release(&mutex);
  exit(0);
}

Probaly something extremely simple I have overlooked (SIGH).

Anders

I can't reproduce this issue with your test code here, but this might be
the sign of some timer race depending on how fast is the hw.

By hanging, I assume the box is still ok, right?
If so, could you please send the output of /proc/xenomai/stat,
/proc/xenomai/sched, /proc/xenomai/timer and /proc/xenomai/timerstat/master?

TIA,

Thanks. It looks like the timer did tick but the wakeup event was
missed. The thread is still waiting for it (stat xxxxxxx6 means
delayed+pending, which is the mode rt_cond_wait() sets for the thread).
We do have a problem, it seems.

Turn on the ipipe tracer (kernel config), tune it
(/proc/ipipe/trace/post_trace_points to, say, 1000), let it triger on
rt_cond_wait (echo rt_cond_wait > /proc/ipipe/trace/trigger), and fire
up your test. The result will be in /proc/ipipe/trace/frozen.

Rebooting solved the problem this time (is this a Windows compatibility feature? :-)

Cannot this be that the constant (3) used in rthal_timer_program_shot
is a bit too small ?

It indeed seems that the default calibration has been overridden using a
zero value, but the timer object does elapse, so it is unlikely that a
bad programming prevented the LAPIC from firing this shot. Looking at
the thread timeout field, it also seems to confirm this, since a zero
return means that the timer is inactive, i.e. it has been dequeued after
the tick was processed.

This said, maybe we could try raising the default calibration
dynamically to 1 us (> /proc/xenomai/latency), so that the I-pipe would
be asked to handle the job directly for any earlier shot. Any change in
behaviour would give us a hint about what goes wrong.

Some more info:

The problem is somewhat repeatable, running the following program sometimes
brings back the problem. I'm beginning to think that the problem is that
'rt_task_delete(NULL);' doesn't release all thread resources (i.e. memory usage
grows continually [(i = 4999) => VmSize:   342504 kB). What have I misunderstood
about task deletion?

#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <native/cond.h>
#include <native/mutex.h>
#include <native/task.h>
#include <native/timer.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>


static void suicide(void *arg)
{
  printf("Suicide\n");
  rt_task_delete(NULL);
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  RT_MUTEX mutex;
  RT_TASK task_main;
  RT_TASK task;
  RT_COND cond;
  int i;

  mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE);

  rt_task_shadow(&task_main, "main", 1, T_FPU);
  if (rt_mutex_create(&mutex, NULL)) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Failed to create mutex\n");
    exit(1);
  }
  if (rt_cond_create (&cond, NULL)) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Failed to create condition\n");
    exit(1);
  }

  if (rt_timer_set_mode(TM_ONESHOT)) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Failed to set timer mode\n");
    exit(1);
  }

  for  (i = 0 ; i < 5000 ; i++) {
    if (i % 100 == 99) {
      int fd, N;

      char buf[1000];
      fd = open("/proc/self/status", O_RDONLY);
      while ((N = read(fd, buf, 1000)) > 0) {
        write(1, buf, N);
      }
      close(fd);
    }

    if (rt_task_create(&task, NULL, 0, 1, 0)) {
      fprintf(stderr, "Failed to create  task\n");
      exit(1);
    }
    if (rt_task_start(&task, &suicide, NULL)) {
      fprintf(stderr, "Failed to start task\n");
      exit(1);
    }
    rt_mutex_acquire(&mutex, TM_INFINITE);
    printf("i = %d\n", i);
    rt_cond_wait(&cond, &mutex, 5000000);
    printf("wait done\n");
    rt_mutex_release(&mutex);
  }
  exit(0);
}
