Subject:   4.5-PRERELEASE Major Stalling
Message-ID:  <000501c18d19$4c8dba20$4300a8c0@winter>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I work at an ISP which hosts zfreehost.com (a pretty large freehost, pushing
about 300 megabit).
The zfreehost network has a few FBSD servers (all 4.4-STABLE except one
4.5-PRERELEASE) running a custom in-house webserver, using a FBSD NFS
Storage backend.
Anyway, I upgraded one of the servers to 4.5-PRERELEASE just to test it out
for us, and I noticed there are MAJOR stalls in 4.5.  After about 5 minutes
of running, all of the webserver processes (8 processes) are sitting in
state sbwait, doing nothing.  in a truss, it like it stalls on the read()
immediately after accept() from the client socket (http). We run httpready
accept filtering, so when we do a read() it should never ever stall since it
wouldn't have accept()'d if there wasnt data to read(), or if it was ready
to close(),  anyway -- I consider this to be a pretty major regression.  At
the way this is running, we wont be able to run 4.5 on any of the production
servers, so I hope this can get fixed.
Here is what I see from top:
  PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND

This is what I see from ps auwx:

I did not enable fxp bundling.
