Hi all, I have a curious problem with Mail hanging when attempting to write to the seemail port (that's according to ratrace) after marking a message deleted and middle-clicking Put.
AFAICS, on the one hand, the Put causes a receive in mbmain (on the Cevent channel), which causes a write to plumbsend, which should cause a read on the seemail proc, which would try to send a message to the Cseemail channel, but that can't be received as mbmain is busy already; so I'd be tempted to think this may be a deadlock scenario. On the other hand, though, this can't be the explanation as such a deadlock would've been reported by anyone ever deleting a message… so I'm more inclined to think I'm doing something wrong. Which brings me to: My setup: - 9front (not the latest, but I've seen this behavior for ages, but didn't have the knowledge to even start troubleshooting then) - upas/fs launched in lib/profile, after plumber, before rio - acme started from riostart Just in case it's relevant, though I wouldn't think so: - booted as QEMU amd64 instance - used via drawterm - a bespoke unusual 9P fs as the root Lastly, and what makes me most curious, is that if I change my set up to this: - add -s to the upas/fs command in lib/profile - use Local mount /srv/upasfs.ng /mail/fs in acme - use Mail in acme such lock-up does not happen. I'm grateful if anyone can help dissipate my confusion. :-) ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T92af154d081c9c25-M035cccac037597378afc132c Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
