http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13184 Bug #: 13184 Summary: rwlocks can go into dead lock Product: glibc Version: 2.14 Status: NEW Severity: critical Priority: P2 Component: nptl AssignedTo: drepper.fsp@gmail.com ReportedBy: redhat@pureftpd.org Classification: Unclassified This issue can be reliably reproduced on glibc 2.7, glibc 2.11, glibc 1.14 and glibc-current (stock, without any vendor patches). A race condition can cause a pthreads rwlock to get a negative number of __nr_readers, thus leading to a dead lock. This issue seems to be hardware dependent. I haven't been able to reproduce it on single-core Opterons nor Intel hardware. But it happens in minutes on different boxes, all powered by dual-core Opteron 270.
