--- Comment #2 from Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> ---
Thanks for the report and the pointer to the updated libkqueue tests.  I'm
sorry this didn't get any attention sooner.

I ported three new timer tests to our in-tree copy of the libkqueue test su=
ite,
periodic_modify, periodic_to_oneshot, and dispatch.  They found a couple of
kernel bugs unrelated to the one that you described.

Looking at our documentation, it's not obvious to me that FreeBSD's behavio=
ur
in the dispatch test is incorrect.  With a periodic timer, EV_DISPATCH masks
the knote after its state is retrieved by kqueue(), but the timer continues=
 to
fire and we continue to count events.  So when the timer filter is unmasked
with EV_ENABLE | EV_DISPATCH, the knote is immediately activated.  That see=
ms
consistent with my reading of the documentation.

> The above step fails on FreeBSD 13, we get one event with the data field =
set to 1.

I would expect this to be 2 =3D 500ms / 200ms.  That itself is a kernel bug=
 which
I have a patch for.

> Adding EV_ADD to the call re-enabling the timer does nothing, as does onl=
y passing EV_ENABLE.

In fact, adding EV_ADD fixes the test for me on FreeBSD.  That also seems to
make sense, since EV_ADD causes the timer state to be reset, throwing away
timer firings that occurred while the knote was masked.

So, I'm not sure what to do here.  I spent some time looking at the XNU sou=
rces
to better understand what macos is doing but don't quite understand their t=
imer
state machine yet.
