The retval parameter to pthread_join() is a pointer to a pointer. aio-stress is passing in a pointer to an int. This can result in a bus error on sparc64 when the pointer is not aligned on a 64-bit boundary. Since the return value is not used, it is simplest to pass a NULL pointer instead. This has been fixed in the LTP source: https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/commit/981d33aad3b33c4625b88990fbf2fad5470d47e0 Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp <dave.kleikamp@xxxxxxxxxx> --- diff -up xfstests/ltp/aio-stress.c.orig xfstests/ltp/aio-stress.c --- xfstests/ltp/aio-stress.c.orig 2013-06-03 11:53:49.000000000 -0700 +++ xfstests/ltp/aio-stress.c 2013-06-18 15:04:35.593859720 -0700 @@ -1210,7 +1210,6 @@ typedef void * (*start_routine)(void *); int run_workers(struct thread_info *t, int num_threads) { int ret; - int thread_ret; int i; for(i = 0 ; i < num_threads ; i++) { @@ -1221,7 +1220,7 @@ int run_workers(struct thread_info *t, i } } for(i = 0 ; i < num_threads ; i++) { - ret = pthread_join(t[i].tid, (void *)&thread_ret); + ret = pthread_join(t[i].tid, NULL); if (ret) { perror("pthread_join"); exit(1); _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
