Kqueue and threading

[Willem Jan Withagen]

Hi,

Ceph uses a lot of threading, and for any part of it communication it
uses epoll(), which FreeBSD does not use. For that there was already a
EvenKqueue implementation.

But I think I'm now running into:
     The kqueue() system call creates a new kernel event queue and
     returns a descriptor.  The queue is not inherited by a child
     created with fork(2). However, if rfork(2) is called without the
     RFFDG flag, then the descriptor table is shared, which will allow
     sharing of the kqueue between two processes.

Kqueue descriptors are created and events are added, but then the
process starts other threads and expects the kqueue-id to be valid there.

However adding more events returns an error, also waiting on the ID for
events to happen returns an error (descriptor invalid)

Threading is done with 2 different constructions:
	std::thread
and 	creating Workers

Would any of these qualify with the quoted warning? and invalidate the
descriptor table?

If not, how can I (easily) debug the reason why my descriptors go invalid?


thanx,
