private mutex test case
|
|
|
|
As I understand it, RHEL 5.3 is supposed to have pulled in the change to use PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE by default with the various pthread_mutex calls. While testing my recent requeue_pi code, I was seeing some unexpected behaviour on RHEL5.3 that didn't occur on FC10. Specifically, regardless of what I set the mutexattr pshared attribute to, glibc would make the shared versions of the futex calls. I've written the attached testcase to illustrate. It creates a PI mutex, and will set the pshared attribute to whatever you specify in the options, or use the OS default if you use no options. Using strace -f you can see which futex syscalls glibc used.

Compile with:
|
|
# gcc -lrt -lpthread priv-mutex.c -o priv-mutex
|
|
|
|
Note: the ETIMEDOUT is intentional in the output below.

On Fedora Core 10 with glibc 2.9:
|
|
|
|
Default is private:
|
|
[root@elm3b160 dvhart]# strace -f 2>&1 ./priv-mutex | grep FUTEX_LOCK_PI
|
|
[pid 13433] futex(0x6015e0, FUTEX_LOCK_PI_PRIVATE, 1) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out)
|
|
|
|
Specifying private works:
|
|
[root@elm3b160 dvhart]# strace -f 2>&1 ./priv-mutex -p | grep FUTEX_LOCK_PI
|
|
[pid 13437] futex(0x6015e0, FUTEX_LOCK_PI_PRIVATE, 1) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out)
|
|
|
|
Specifying shared works:
|
|
[root@elm3b160 dvhart]# strace -f 2>&1 ./priv-mutex -s | grep FUTEX_LOCK_PI
|
|
[pid 13441] futex(0x6015e0, FUTEX_LOCK_PI, 1) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out)
|
|
|
|
|
|
On RHEL5.3:
|
|
|
|
Default uses shared (I expected private here):
|
|
[root@elm3c31 dvhart]# strace -f 2>&1 ./priv-mutex | grep FUTEX_LOCK_PI
|
|
[pid 9051] futex(0x6015c0, FUTEX_LOCK_PI, 1) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out)
|
|
|
|
Setting PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE has no effect:
|
|
[root@elm3c31 dvhart]# strace -f 2>&1 ./priv-mutex -p | grep FUTEX_LOCK_PI
|
|
[pid 9055] futex(0x6015c0, FUTEX_LOCK_PI, 1) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out)
|
|
|
|
Specifying shared works as expected:
|
|
[root@elm3c31 dvhart]# strace -f 2>&1 ./priv-mutex -s | grep FUTEX_LOCK_PI
|
|
[pid 9059] futex(0x6015c0, FUTEX_LOCK_PI, 1) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out)
