So, for starters, can you display how "pid_hash" is
declared in your kernel?
static struct hlist_head *pid_hash[PIDTYPE_MAX];
This is the code sequence in task_init() that selects
refresh_hlist_task_table() or refresh_hlist_task_table_v2():
} else {
tt->pidhash_addr = symbol_value("pid_hash");
if (!get_array_length("pid_hash", NULL, sizeof(void *)) &&
VALID_STRUCT(pid_link))
tt->refresh_task_table = refresh_hlist_task_table_v2;
else
tt->refresh_task_table = refresh_hlist_task_table;
}
Yes, refresh_hlist_task_table is being selected, but because the "if"
clause itself was failing.
get_array_length("pid_hash",...) = 1
VALID_STRUCT(pid_link) = 0
VALID_MEMBER(pid_link_pid) = 0
VALID_MEMBER(pid_hash_chain)) = 0
if (VALID_MEMBER(pid_link_pid) && VALID_MEMBER(pid_hash_chain)) {
get_symbol_data("pid_hash", sizeof(ulong), &tt->pidhash_addr);
tt->refresh_task_table = refresh_pid_hash_task_table;
} else {
Alternatively, if you want to make the vmlinux/dumpfile pair
available to me, I can take a look at it.
Thanks, I will see how I can get you the files.
Another thing to check -- there are two places that print that
"cannot determine..." error message. Can you verify that it's
happening in refresh_hlist_task_table()? That's where the
previous reporter said that it happened on his system, but I
just want to make absolutely sure.
I confirmed that the error message "crash: cannot determine pid_hash
array dimensions " was from the refresh_hlist_task_table() function
