And back to bottom posting...
Ok, I downloaded the xnu-517.7.21 source (aka OS X, 10.3.5), and I
opened IOLib.c and guess which line is line 140?
static void ioThreadStart( void )
{
IOThreadFunc fcn;
void * arg;
fcn = threadArgFcn;
arg = threadArgArg;
lock_done( threadArgLock);
(*fcn)(arg);
IOExitThread();
}
Hint: (*fcn)(arg);
So, if you haven't modified the kernel source and built your own
custom kernel I'm wondering if your kernel threads are actually
working. Try scaling back to your threading code unit test and see if
your threads are indeed being created correctly.
But I would really recommend you read Cliff and Mike's comments in
this thread as they are more valid (i.e. it looks a lot like you are
trying to re-invent the wheel, poorly). Read up on the IOCommandPool,
IOWorkLoop at the very minimum. Please!
Cheers,
H.
