The previous round of this code unblocked after unset universally, but that was incorrect in the case where the thread was not in the "waiting" state before we unset. Yesterday I changed that to just unblock before unset universally. It seems, however, that thread_unblock is so time-consuming that the other thread will wake up and begin doing things before unblock returns for us, and then it will hit the timeout before we have a chance to unset. So, now we unblock later if it is possible to do so. It seems very strange, though, that thread_unblock will not return in a small but significant number of cases before the unblocked thread actually starts running (note that we are in interrupts-disabled mode here, so that is not the problem.) That sounds like a problem for another day. Should fix #17455, possibly in tandem with the previous commit.
Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
