I've got a character device which is used for OS-bypass NIC, and I've
got a problem..
We just started using a second thread in our userland library. The
idea is this worker thread ioctls into the driver, where he sleeps
waiting for an interrupt from the NIC. When he gets the interrupt,
he wakes up and returns from the ioctl, where he will process some
recently completed events.
The problem happens when exiting. When main application thread
decides to exit, it does an ioctl into the driver to wakeup the
sleeping worker thread. The worker thread thread wakes up, and then
exits, then the main thread closes his file descriptor and exits.
The problem I'm seeing is that I get a panic like the following when
using KSE. (A linux binary works fine, ioctls are translated..)
The interesting thing is that there is no stack.. Just one function
from my driver (mx_free()) sitting out there by itself. Is the kernel
somehow ripping the kernel stacks of all threads out from under them
when one thread calls exit()? How do I take a reference so I
don't risk getting marooned without a stack?
Thanks,
Drew
