i did a ktrace -i and linux_kdump run and the results are quite interesting. with only 1 thread linux_sys_futex() *never* failed with EAGAIN. starting with 2 threads however i'm seeing an increasing number of linux_sys_futex() failures (all with EAGAIN). the overhead is quite massive. linux_kdump > /tmp/futex-failure produced 941 megs of output. doing grep -v "futex_wait" futex-failure > futex-grep produces an output of 192K!! so it's quite obvious that the futex_wait stuff is responsible for causing massive activity, due to the constant failures and retries. here's a bit of output: 32126 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex -1 errno 35 Resource temporarily unavailable 32125 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex 0 32126 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x81,0x1,0,0,0) 32126 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex 0 32126 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x81,0x1,0,0,0) 32125 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x80,0x2,0,0,0) 32126 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex 0 32125 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex -1 errno 35 Resource temporarily unavailable 32126 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x80,0x2,0,0,0) 32125 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x81,0x1,0,0,0) 32126 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex -1 errno 35 Resource temporarily unavailable 32125 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex 0 32126 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x81,0x1,0,0,0) 32126 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex 0 32126 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x80,0x2,0,0,0) 32125 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x81,0x1,0,0,0) 32126 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex -1 errno 35 Resource temporarily unavailable 32125 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex 0 32126 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x81,0x1,0,0,0) 32126 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex 0 32126 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x80,0x2,0,0,0) 32125 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x81,0x1,0,0,0) 32126 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex -1 errno 35 Resource temporarily unavailable 32125 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex 0 32126 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x81,0x1,0,0,0) 32126 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex 0 32126 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x81,0x1,0,0,0) 32125 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x80,0x2,0,0,0) 32126 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex 0 32125 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex -1 errno 35 Resource temporarily unavailable 32125 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x81,0x1,0,0,0) 32126 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x80,0x2,0,0,0) 32125 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex 0 32126 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex -1 errno 35 Resource temporarily unavailable 32126 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x80,0x2,0,0,0) 32125 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x81,0x1,0,0,0) 32126 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex -1 errno 35 Resource temporarily unavailable 32125 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex 0 32126 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x81,0x1,0,0,0) 32126 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex 0 32126 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x80,0x2,0,0,0) 32125 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x81,0x1,0,0,0) 32126 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex -1 errno 35 Resource temporarily unavailable 32125 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex 0 32126 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x81,0x1,0,0,0) 32126 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex 0 32126 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x80,0x2,0,0,0) 32125 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x81,0x1,0,0,0) 32126 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex -1 errno 35 Resource temporarily unavailable 32125 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex 0 32126 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x81,0x1,0,0,0) 32126 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex 0 32126 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x80,0x2,0,0,0) 32125 futex_wait CALL linux_sys_futex(0xffffdb5c,0x81,0x1,0,0,0) 32126 futex_wait RET linux_sys_futex -1 errno 35 Resource temporarily unavailable cheers. alex > > no. i've increased the kern.threads.max_threads_per_proc value, but that had > no effect. so it seems to be a bug in the linuxulator's futex implementation. > > cheers. > alex > > > > > -Brandon > > -- > a13x -- a13xReceived on Tue Feb 22 2011 - 21:33:14 UTC
