Hello,
I'm getting the following DIAGNOSTIC messages on my -CURRENT box:
Expensive timeout(9) function: 0xc02677e0(0) 0.006095064 s
(it's uma_timeout(), which triggers the warning once per boot)
Expensive timeout(9) function: 0xc0141610(0xc0dfcc00) 0.006581587 s
Expensive timeout(9) function: 0xc0141610(0xc0dfcc00) 0.008510173 s
(and this one is fxp_tick(); it triggers the warning from time to time)
Are those warnings harmless?
As far as my understanding of the issue reaches, a timeout function
is called under protection of the Giant mutex unless it's marked
as MP-safe, and that's the reason to spend as little time as possible
in it. Right?
