- Subject: Robust mutexes on MIPS?
Have any of you MIPS people out there been able to actually get the
tst-robust*.c test from GLIBC to run?
I put a bunch of traces into tst-robust8.c. The parent's waitpid() for
the multithreaded child process succeeds. But execution doesn't get past
the loop where the parent tries to pthread_mutex_lock all of the now
dead mutexes owned by the child. Those calls should return EOWNERDIED.
I'm running kernel 2.6.17.7 from linux-mips.org, with glibc and ports
recently checked out from CVS head.
I built glibc with --enable-kernel=2.6.17.7
What's the general status of robust mutexes? Should work? Known not to?
