| H A D | kern_sysctl.c | diff 185983 Fri Dec 12 10:18:20 MST 2008 kib The userland_sysctl() function retries sysctl_root() until returned error is not EAGAIN. Several sysctls that inspect another process use p_candebug() for checking access right for the curproc. p_candebug() returns EAGAIN for some reasons, in particular, for the process doing exec() now. If execing process tries to lock Giant, we get a livelock, because sysctl handlers are covered by Giant, and often do not sleep. Break the livelock by dropping Giant and allowing other threads to execute in the EAGAIN loop. Also, do not return EAGAIN from p_candebug() when process is executing, use more appropriate EBUSY error [1].
