Category Tags:

Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/11.X/PHKL_30542

Symptoms: 
	PHKL_30542:
	( SR:8606342243 CR:JAGaf03150 )
	Panic occurs during an ioctl(2) or close on an event port
	device. The stack traces can look like:

	soo_select+0x8
	unp_poll_handler+0x30
	so_poll_switch+0x1c
	evp_dp_poll+0x1d8
	evp_ioctl+0xcc
	spec_ioctl+0xac
	vno_ioctl+0x98
	ioctl+0x118

	or

	so_eventreg+0x78
	evp_dereg_objhdr+0x64
	evp_close+0x188
	call_open_close+0x28c
	closed+0xe4
	spec_close+0x64
	vn_close+0x48
	vno_close+0x20
	closef+0x64

	PHKL_25468:
	( SR:8606222220 CR:JAGad91335 )
	Enhancement:  /dev/poll provides an interface to the
	eventport driver allowing a user to synchronously monitor a
	specific set of conditions associated with a registered set
	of file descriptors.

Defect Description: 
	PHKL_30542:
	( SR:8606342243 CR:JAGaf03150 )
	1) A flag in the file descriptor was used to indicate if the
	file descriptor is registered with an event port. This
	implementation cannot fully support registering a file
	descriptor with multiple event ports.
	2) A race condition exists between registration and
	deregistration of a file descriptor with the same event
	port. This can result in the file descriptor not properly
	flagged to indicate its registration with the event port.

	Resolution:
	1) The flag in the file descriptor structure is replaced by
	a counter to keep track of how many event ports the file
	descriptor is registered.
	2) The new counter is always incremented (decremented)
	accordingly upon successful registration (deregistration).

	PHKL_25468:
	( SR:8606222220 CR:JAGad91335 )
	Poll(2) and select(2) do not scale well with a large number
	of file descriptors.

	Resolution:
	Use the /dev/poll semantics instead of poll(2) or select(2).

Enhancement: 
	No (superseded patches contained enhancements)
	PHKL_30542:
		Enhancements were delivered in a patch this one has
		superseded.  Please review the Defect Description
		text for more information.
