Hi,
I recently noticed that cv_wait_sig() will return -1
rather than EINTR when a SIGINT is delivered. This is
in contrast to CONDVAR(9) which states:
<...>
cv_wait_sig() and cv_timedwait_sig() return prematurely with a
value of EINTR or ERESTART if a signal is caught
<...>
To demonstrate the problem outside my out-of-tree driver, I
took the skeleton driver from
http://www.captain.at/programming/freebsd/
and added the following function, invoked at module
load:
static struct mtx m;
static struct cv c;
static void
cv_test(void)
{
int rc;
mtx_init(&m, "skel_m", MTX_DEF, MTX_DEF);
cv_init(&c, "skel_c");
mtx_lock(&m);
rc = cv_wait_sig(&c, &m);
mtx_unlock(&m);
printf("cv_wait_sig returned %d\n", rc);
cv_destroy(&c);
mtx_destroy(&m);
}
I load the module, and I ^C kldload after a few seconds
to break out of the cv_wait_sig(), which results in this
output on console:
Skeleton KLD loaded.
cv_wait_sig returned -1
Am I doing something wrong, or are condvars broken?
I've tried to track this down with dtrace, but failed..
Thanks,
Drew
