What are the respective shells and telnetd doing? I've added a couple of printk's around that schedule() call and in one pathetic case all 3 find tasks never return: S 0 58 47 1768 488 0:0 00:00 00:03:50 telnetd -i -l /bin/sh S 0 59 58 1768 520 pts0 00:00 00:00:01 /bin/sh S 0 61 47 1768 488 0:0 00:00 00:03:45 telnetd -i -l /bin/sh S 0 62 61 1768 528 pts1 00:00 00:00:01 /bin/sh S 0 65 47 1768 488 0:0 00:00 00:03:23 telnetd -i -l /bin/sh S 0 66 65 1776 528 pts2 00:00 00:00:01 /bin/sh S 0 833 66 1840 488 pts2 00:58 00:00:01 find / -name * <-- S 0 871 62 1832 480 pts1 01:01 00:00:00 find / -name * <-- S 0 881 59 1840 488 pts0 01:01 00:00:02 find / -name * <-- ---> 833 8e21c580 <--- 833 8e21c580 ---> 833 8e21c580 ---> 871 8e21c840 <--- 871 8e21c840 ---> 871 8e21c840 ---> 881 8e21c2c0 <--- 881 8e21c2c0 ---> 881 8e21c2c0 I don't undersand how the receive buffer full/empty is coming into play - that schedule() call is not a wait queue or something, it's an unconditional yield, expecting sched to unconditionally return at some point - unless ofcourse - that itself relies on some buffer r/w ISR semantics triggering an ISR, which makes the task runnable again causing schdule() to return. -Vineet -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
