Bug summary: pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock/rdlock() never return
|

Bugzilla link: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=580498

|
Description:
|
|
|
|
Different behavior between RHEL5 and RHEL6 in both pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock()
|
|
and pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock() functions.
|
|
|
|
If you call one of them with setting a negative number to abs_timeout->tv_sec,
|
|
and a write lock to the specified rwlock has already been acquired by a different thread:
|
|
|
|
RHEL 5) the function returns with ETIMEDOUT errno, but
|
|
RHEL 6) the function never return (spinning).
|
|
|
|
According to the man page and specs, EINVAL should be the return value on a negative timespec.
|
|
|
|
|
|
EINVAL The value specified by rwlock does not refer to an initialized
|
|
read-write lock object, or the abs_timeout nanosecond value is
|
|
less than zero or greater than or equal to 1000 million.
|

Apparently this change caused the issue:
