Subject: kernel 2.6.8 bug in fs/locks.c
Date: Fri, 1 Oct 2004 12:24:30 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <000001c4a7d3$21c62bb0$2e646434@ivans> (raw)
Hi all,
Application I'm developing has a web interface, so user can change
configuration file for this application using IE browser e.g.
I'm using pthreads for each user-application connections. To protect
configuration file from corruption I used file locking mechanism - fcntl
with F_WRLCK/F_RDLCK.
And at one point after posting web page back immediately after browser
received it, I got this in dmesg:
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at fs/locks.c:1726!

Configuration file was destroyed of course, as I opened it for writing with
truncation.
I'm changing code now to use pthread mutexes to control access to the
configuration file,
hopefully it will work better. So this message more like bug info, but I
would like
to be CC-ed all answers/comments posted to the list in response to this
posting.
Regards,
