wall hangs on tty_write system call for about 15 minutes on debian 2.6 kernel
Hi
My system was about 20% cpu utilization. Console was open and some other terminals were oepn.
0. system info Linux Node1 2.6.10-telco-1.35.1-mckinley-smp #1 SMP Sun Nov 18 20:58:46 UTC 2007 ia64 GNU/Linux
1. System had invoked shutdown -r now commmand
2. As part of it , it was putting wall message to all ttys
The wall message is "The system is going down for reboot NOW!"
3. We found that wall was hanging for 15mins and was not posting this message to tty.
4. Because of above reason, shutdown was hanging for about 15 minutes.
===Code===
system ("while ( true );do sleep 25;date >> $rnps;ps -emo pid,ppid,psr,pcpu,pmem,vsz,rss,lwp,state,time,wchan=WIDE-WIDE-WCHAN-COLUMN,args>> $rnps; echo >> $rnps;done &");
...
..
echo "System is about to reboot Now " | wall
shutdown -r now
====Code Ends===
Below is seen for about 15-mins as captured from ps -e
