"strace /bin/true" and "cat /proc/sysvipc/sem" do not hang, but every PostgreSQL backend process is stuck waiting on a synchronization primitive. I can distill another self-contained test case for the limited freeze seen in cygwin-20170324, but that make take awhile. I'm sending this early report so you're aware of the possible regression in cygwin-20170324.I'm attaching a new test program that demonstrates the regression. My previous test program created sixteen processes that each picked a random semaphore to lock. Now, each process picks two semaphores and locks them in order. This proceeds smoothly on GNU/Linux and on cygwin-20170321.tar.xz "cygserver -r 40". It freezes within one second on cygwin-20170324.tar.xz "cygserver -r 40".I suggest reverting the cygwin-20170324 cygserver changes for now. Older versions can be configured to have reliable sysv semaphores, but I think no settings render sysv semaphores reliable in Cygwin 2.8.0. What do you think?Just FYI, Corinna is away for a bit (in European time, "a bit" = until June ;-) ) so don't be surprised if her response is delayed.
as she is back, we can humble rise her attention to the matter. Regards Marco -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
