[RTnet-developers] Problem in SOCK_RAW

[Jorge A. <j-a...@cr...>]

Hello to all,

I'm testing the SOCK_RAW functionality in the rtnet framework for long periods of time and a problem is happening.
I will try to describe it:

I'm making tests sending 1.000.000 (one milion messages), with an interval of 5 ms each.
After some time, more than 100.000 messages, the host were the test is running has a strange behaviour, the program does not return but the bash dies. I must make the login phase again to enter the host.
The messages stop of being sent (I'm monitoring the network with ethereal).

In the /proc i find some data about the file descriptor used by the socket (/proc/rtai/rtdm/open_fildes)
Index   Locked   Device
0         0            PACKET_RAW

I think this is OK because the socket was never closed.

But the behaviour is strange.
My guess is that this problem is due to some kind of semaphore or any synchronization mechanism.


Any clues for wath is happening?

Thanks
