Hi All,
What exactly changed between 6.1 and 6.1a? My code was working beautifully
until I upgraded today and now my code hangs my whole computer. 
Anyone
know where I can get the changes and try to figure out why my code is not
working?
Jim

I found those release notes but the 6.1 to 6.1a notes didnt help me at all.
The items listed as changed from 6.1 to 6.1a are not anything that I use.
Does 6.1 to 6.1a require a recompile of all code? The release notes say 6.0
to 6.1 does but not to 6.1a.
TIA,
Jim

Ok, Iāve gone over these changes and not one of them explains why my
application is suddenly not working.
I have a socket server app that preforks 10 copies of itself and each copy
then does an accept(). I did 2.5 million connections Monday night (in 12
hours) with no problems. Then I upgrade to 6.1.a and now I canāt even do
1000 without an ENOENT error being returned. I donāt use any of the things
listed in the release notes, AFAIK.
I first thought it was a problem with a database library I was using, but
using an old threaded version to access the library worked perfectly and I
just inserted 100,000 rows no problem. So I know it isnāt the database
library code.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Jim
The only thing it can be is some change in the way sockets are handled.
What I see happening is that the system doesnāt hang as such, it just slows
down to a crawl.

Hmmm, did the tcpip stack change from the ttcpip to tcpip?

When your call to accept() returns with ENOENT, do all subsequent calls fail
also?
What I see happening is that the system doesnāt hang as such, it just
slows
down to a crawl.
Can you post a pidin of the system after the calls to accept() start failing
and when your machine becomes sluggish. Also do an ls -l /dev/io-net and
post the results, I have a sneaking suspicion that io-net might be failing,
and this the mount point /dev/io-net/* are not valid, which causes
subsequent calls to accept() to fail with ENOENT.

That is exactly what is happening. In fact the whole IP system goes
bonkers. Canāt ping, telnet, ftp, nothing.
What I see happening is that the system doesnāt hang as such, it just
slows
down to a crawl.
The reason I was slowing to a crawl is because I was running my server at a
higher priority. I was banging it with 100ās of connections a second and it
just simulated a server hang because it ate up all the resources.
Can you post a pidin of the system after the calls to accept() start
failing
and when your machine becomes sluggish. Also do an ls -l /dev/io-net and
post the results, I have a sneaking suspicion that io-net might be
failing,

I think you are on the right track since the io-net directory disappears
when this happens. Iāve posted the results of the pidin and ls below.
Here are the different scenarios that I have run. I have my socket server
which can connect to a database ODBC library. My stuff is compiled with
6.1.a while the database library is compiled with 6.1.
Here are the combinations I have tried and the results:
Works: My socket server printing to screen instead of sending to db (can do
200 socket connections per second)
Works: My socket server doing nothing, ie. reading the data but then not
displaying it or storing it in the database
Works: My test server using threads connecting to the database libraries.
Works like a champ, 250 inserts a second
Fails: My socket server connecting to their database library
So, you can see that my socket server stuff works fine. Where it fails is
when I connect to their database library which also uses sockets to
communicate with a Windows 2000 server.
HTH,
Jim

Any resolution or news on this issue? I was really hoping to have something
by today so I wouldnāt be dead in the water over the weekend.
Not one reply to any of my numerous posts today - I feel unloved.
If anyone can let me know when this io-net issue will be resolved, Iād
appreciate it.

From the description so far, I have little idea whay might be
the cause. The latest info I have is that this happens with both
stacks? What driver are you running? Try with just the driver
and the stack (no qnet, pppmgr if they arenāt needed). Some code

Can you post a pidin of the system after the calls to accept() start
failing
and when your machine becomes sluggish. Also do an ls -l /dev/io-net
and
post the results, I have a sneaking suspicion that io-net might be
failing,
and this the mount point /dev/io-net/* are not valid, which causes
subsequent calls to accept() to fail with ENOENT.
I think you are on the right track since the io-net directory disappears
when this happens. Iāve posted the results of the pidin and ls below.
If the io-net directory is gone, (and looking at the pidin you posted) then
it looks like io-net died. As Sean mentioned in a previous post, have you
tried removing the extra modules like pppmgr and qnet? Does it improve the
situation any? If not, more then likely the NIC driver has a bug - What nic
card/driver are you using?
Here are the different scenarios that I have run. I have my socket server
which can connect to a database ODBC library. My stuff is compiled with
6.1.a while the database library is compiled with 6.1.
Here are the combinations I have tried and the results:Works: My socket server printing to screen instead of sending to db (can
do
200 socket connections per second)
Works: My socket server doing nothing, ie. reading the data but then not
displaying it or storing it in the database
Works: My test server using threads connecting to the database libraries.
Works like a champ, 250 inserts a second
Fails: My socket server connecting to their database librarySo, you can see that my socket server stuff works fine. Where it fails is
when I connect to their database library which also uses sockets to
communicate with a Windows 2000 server.
if you do an objdump -x | grep āNEEDEDā what are the
dependancies? Is the lib a shared lib or are you staticly linking against
it?

So is there not a known issue with io-net? I just assumed there was since
right after my first postings on this someone posted that it was probably
io-net and it sounded like it was a known problem or issue that crops up.
Iāll try it without those options. I really canāt reproduce it since it
happens when Im using a third-party database library.
If this helps, let me once again state what happens.
- If I connect to the database library and my program is not running
socket stuff, I have no problem. - If I donāt connect to the database library and my program just accepts
millions of socket connections and prints them to the screen, I have no
problem. - If I connect to the database library (the database library uses sockets
to communicate with other machines) and my program is using sockets to
communicate with my clients, then it crashes io-net after anywhere from
400-4000 (Iāve had it go as high as 11,000) transactions (ie. socket
accepts, writes the message to the database, goes back to an accept state).
The accept fails with an error code of 3.
Once again, any ideas or help are very much appreciated so keep em coming.
Thanks,
Jim

From the description so far, I have little idea whay might be
the cause. The latest info I have is that this happens with both
stacks? What driver are you running? Try with just the driver

I was using the driver for Intelās 82557 but I switched the card out today

I statically link to their library but their library dynamically links
itself to their libraries. Oops, I just found out that I am wrong. The
default linking is dynamic and here I thought I was statically linking. So,
I am dynamically linking to their library.
Iāll post more as I find out more.

I would try a different chipset based NIC card (like 3com etc), but also try
using the new speedo driver available on developers.qnx.com/Fixes . See if
that helps at all.
Keep us posted on your library linking status as well.

Weirder and weirder. I have edited the /etc/system/enum/include/net file to
remove ppp and qnet (and rebooted about 50 times since then) yet they still
show up under io-net using the above command.
I have two hard drives on this machine and it mounts the second at
/fs/hd1ā¦ Is it possible that it is grabbing config information off of
this hard drive instead of the one I booted from?
Either that or there is another config file for net that I have missed.

No, just messages from my daemons dying out of the accept they were in.
slay io-net
io-net -d speedo -ptcpip
ifconfig en0 <ip_address

Well I thought it was true since I had set the options in the above ānetā
file. Iāll try it again manually.
ā¦
I just ran tests using the tiny tcpip stack and it too had issues. The only
difference is that my daemons returned from the accept and gave a failure
message when io-net disappeared in the first instance. Using ttcpip, io-net
didnt crash yet my program just stopped responding at about 5000
transactions.
slay io-net
io-net -d speedo -pttcpip if=en0:<ip_address
