The process comes from the allproc list.
I am simply iterating through this list and removing the first 1/2 of
allproc list and adding the removed process to my own singly linked
list.
LIST_REMOVE(current_proc, p_list); // remove from the allproc
add_proc_entry(current_proc);
Later, i am iterating through my singly linked list and doing the below:
struct proc *p = current->p;
f( p != NULL && (p->p_state == PRS_NEW || p->p_state == PRS_NORMAL) ){
LIST_INSERT_HEAD(&allproc, p, p_list);
}
Could this be causing a circular list?
I am adding the proc entries to my singly linked list as follows:
static void add_proc_entry(const struct proc *p)
{
struct proc_ll *new_entry = (struct proc_ll*)malloc(sizeof(struct
proc_ll), M_TEMP, M_ZERO | M_NOWAIT);
int done = 0;
new_entry->p = p; // maybe doing this assignment isnt correct?
if(proc_entries == NULL) {
proc_entries = new_entry;
return;
}
struct proc_ll *current = proc_entries;
while(current != NULL) {
if(current->next == NULL) {
current->next = new_entry;
break;
}
current = current->next;
}
}
struct proc_ll {
struct proc *p;
struct proc_ll *next;
};
A circular list does sound like it could cause hanging to occur but the
above code, atleast from my eyes, doesn't seem to cause it.
