Yes it does and I have two reported bugs so far.
In several places I have code similar to:
wait.tv_sec = time(NULL) + 1;
wait.tv_nsec = 0;
signaled = 0;
while (!signaled) {
status = pthread_cond_timedwait(&cond, &mutex, &wait);
if (status) {
if (status == ETIMEDOUT)
break;
fatal(status);
}
}
lead to automount spinning with strace output a bit like:
futex(0x80034b60, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, {1184593936, 130925919}) = 0
time(NULL) = 1184593935
futex(0x80034b60, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, {1184593936, 131160876}) = 0
time(NULL) = 1184593935
futex(0x80034b60, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, {1184593936, 131377080}) = 0
time(NULL) = 1184593935
futex(0x80034b60, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, {1184593936, 131593297}) = 0
time(NULL) = 1184593935
futex(0x80034b60, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, {1184593936, 131871792}) = 0
There should be something like:
futex(0x5555557868c4, FUTEX_WAIT, 5321099, {0, 998091311}) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out)
in there I think.
