#10840: Periodic alarm signals can cause a retry loop to get stuck -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Rufflewind | Owner: bgamari Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 8.0.2 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): Unfortunately it seems that the patch as merged in comment:9 has a subtle race condition (see #11830) and introduces unnecessary wake-ups (see #11965, #1623). I'm going to revert this for 8.0.1 and perhaps we can give it another try in 8.0.2 if this issues have been sorted. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10840#comment:15 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
