Subject: Unkillable gdb process gets system unusably slow
Date: Fri, 23 Nov 2007 06:54:55 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1195793695.3843.7.camel@hurina> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 683 bytes --]
Fully reproducible with me. v2.6.23.1 x86-64 SMP kernel, Core 2 CPU, gdb
v6.6.90.20070912-debian.
gdb ./hang
run
fr 1
p (char*)base
p command hangs and the entire system becomes unusably slow. kill -9
doesn't kill gdb.
/* gcc hang.c -o hang -g -Wall */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
int main(void)
{
int fd;
char buf[100];
void *base;
fd = open("hang.tmp", O_RDWR | O_CREAT, 0600);
if (fd == -1) perror("open");
base = mmap(NULL, 100, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
if (base == MAP_FAILED)
perror("mmap");
memcpy(buf, base, sizeof(buf));
return 0;
}
