[OE-core] [PATCH 1/1] pseudo: quiet diagnostics during startup for pseudo -d

Robert Yang liezhi.yang at windriver.com
Thu Sep 29 05:59:13 UTC 2016


When the client spawns a pseudo server, it starts out sending diagnostics
to stderr. This can be spammy in some cases with races during startup;
everything resolves, but we get scary-looking diagnostics. So shove
those into a log file.

+Subject: [PATCH] pseudo_server.c: add prefix for log and make log consistent
+
+The log messages might not be consistent when the same error happens,
+part of the log messages go to terminial, and part of them go to
+pseudo.log, and these code use multiprocesses, which makes it very hard
+to understand, for example:
+$ kill -9 `ps aux | grep /usr/bin/pseud | awk '{print $2}'`
+$ /path/to/usr/bin/pseudo & /path/to/usr/bin/pseudo
+
+Messages printed to terminal:
+  Child process exit status 4: lock_held
+Messages printed to pseudo.log:
+  pseudo: lock already held by existing pid 34028.
+  pseudo: Couldn't obtain lock: Resource temporarily unavailable.
+
+They are messages for one error, so that they should be consistent, this
+patch fixes the problem, they will go into pseudo.log now.
+
+This patch also adds log prefix "pseudo: " for the message to show where
+they are from.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Use correct file descriptor
+
+So it turns out that pseudo_logfile() was returning 0 or -1, and
+pseudo_debug_logfile() was expecting it to be the correct file descriptor
+to use. And it's basically a mystery that any of that ever worked.
