io-net core dump

Hi all,

I’m having this problem where io-net will core dump for no apparent reason
and there is no fix duration before the next core dump will appear.
Although I have a “network checker” script that runs every 5 minutes to
restart io-net if it’s no longer running, there are also situations where
io-net cannot be started because the rtl driver could not initialise.

Another problem that I’m facing is that the io-net memory usage will
increase over time, approx 200K per day (using “pidin mem | grep io-net” to
check). And sometime, my entire system will hang (not sure whether this
problem is related to io-net).

As the system that we developed has end users access. When the io-net core
dumps,
the browser (vserver) will hang, making the system very unstable.

We are using QNX RTP pre-release version and the 18 Jan patch of devn-rtl.
We are not
able to upgrade with Patch A because there are other problems with photon.

To date, I have collected lots of the core-dump files, will be happy to send
to anyone for debugging.

Thanks,
Eugene

The memory leak is fixed for the next patch.

There was a heap corruption bug fixed for the
next patch as well. If you’re sure you’re
running the patched rtl driver, this is the
only other bug of this kind I’m aware of. You
can email me a core file, or let me know where
to access them.

How have you installed the patched rtl driver and
how are you starting io-net?
