Hi, tgtd runs into a deadlock when trying to delete a target. >From gdb: #0 0x0000003c064074e5 in pthread_join () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 #1 0x000000000041b5ad in bs_thread_close (info=0x10651fd8) at bs.c:272 #2 0x0000000000412697 in tgt_device_destroy (tid=<value optimized out>, lun=1, force=1) at target.c:587 #3 0x00000000004128b4 in tgt_target_destroy (lld_no=0, tid=1) at target.c:1731 #4 0x000000000040ff93 in tgt_mgmt (mtask=0x1064d580) at mgmt.c:85 #5 0x0000000000410263 in mtask_handler (fd=11, events=<value optimized out>, data=<value optimized out>) at mgmt.c:441 #6 0x000000000040f3c6 in main (argc=<value optimized out>, argv=<value optimized out>) at tgtd.c:236 The deadlock occurs in pthread_join () called by bs_thread_close (at bs.c line 272). I believe that it is caused by commit: "handle pthread_create failure in backing store pthread code" (d97cd33a7244aed71d1b618ff3e6f826479d6163) Tomo - can you please check it out?
