Re: Bug 4084302 still not fixed in 10.4.1



Hi Garth,

Thanks, I'll setup two-machine debugging here. I had another hang today, and I'll spend some time trying to reproduce it. I understand the need for a kernel dump -- from what I understand looking at the IOKit USB code, the USB workloop is probably stuck somewhere (maybe a commandGate deadlock), though the device I'm opening is being opened with no gate. We'll know more when I can produce a showallstacks dump. I'll update the info in the Radar bug.

Regards,
Florent

Hi Florent,

I suggest you set up two-machine kernel debugging and capture a showallstacks dump when you have one of these hangs. This will provide us with much more info about where the hang is occurring. The info you've provided shows the userland side of things: showallstacks will show where the kernel is wedged as well.

The procedure is documented here:

<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeviceDrivers/Conceptual/ WritingDeviceDriver/DebuggingDrivers/chapter_8_section_4.html>.

You'll also get more symbolic info in the dump if you use the matching Kernel Debug Kit along with the showallstacks macro:

The Read Me file in the Kernel Debug Kit has pointers to other related documentation.

HTH,
