Yep... Perhaps fewer lists, than "timeout", "bad" and "cleanup" could be had. I'd also name the "bad" list as "recovery" list, as that is what would be done to commands on that list. "Timeout" is a status "timed-out", so perhaps just set the timeout flag and move it to a "done" list. (Note that the command can still complete asynchronously while on that list and while it has status "timed-out'.) The idea is that, 1) it avoid contention and races when more than one context can update the job at the same time, and 2) easy to process all jobs of a certain state and/or move them around, etc. Let's discuss it and come up with a plan. :-) Regards, Luben > > Andrey > > >> >> >>> >>> Then in due time, if any more interrupts or whatnot take place, >>> the job will either be in the timeout list or not.
