Description Petr Muller 2010-05-10 11:01:28 UTC

Description of problem:
gdb.mi/mi-nsmoribund.exp testcase was suggested to be run as part of 'Asynchronous interaction' feature testing for RHEL6. This testcase has one FAIL across all architectures: 

Running ./gdb.mi/mi-nsmoribund.exp ...
FAIL: gdb.mi/mi-nsmoribund.exp: unexpected stop

I don't think this is really important, I'm reporting it for the sake of completeness so it can be evaluated.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdb-7.1-18.el6

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. runtest --tool=gdb gdb.mi/mi-nsmoribund.exp
  
Actual results:
# of expected passes            20
# of unexpected failures        1

Expected results:
# of expected passes            21

Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2010-05-10 13:24:21 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

Comment 4 Jan Kratochvil 2010-05-12 13:16:17 UTC

As a gross hack I can just increase the moribunds liveness:
              old_loc->events_till_retirement = 3 * (thread_count () + 1);

which makes the problem no longer practically reproducible.  The right fix to be discussed upstream.

Thanks, it could be a needless "stopper of the non-stop mode".
