| Product Version | 4.0.1 | ||||
| Summary | 0004561: Error logs get filled up with an unexplained error message | ||||
| Description | Seemingly every 30 seconds several lines of the following error are added to the error.log, which makes it both unusable since it is spammed with this message and grows very fast several hundred KB a minute. This is occurring only when the flag "errors" is used. [Thu Jan 28 19:25:18 2016] - [BUG?] kevent returned 2 [Thu Jan 28 19:25:48 2016] - [BUG?] kevent returned 2 [Thu Jan 28 19:25:48 2016] - [BUG?] kevent returned 2 [Thu Jan 28 19:25:48 2016] - [BUG?] kevent returned 2 [Thu Jan 28 19:26:18 2016] - [BUG?] kevent returned 2 [Thu Jan 28 19:26:18 2016] - [BUG?] kevent returned 2 [Thu Jan 28 19:26:18 2016] - [BUG?] kevent returned 2 This is occurring in a FreeBSD 10.2 jail. No misbehaviour of the ircd process has been observed, i.e. the server is working as usual despite the error log getting filled with the above stated message. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Running 4.0.1 as usual with flag "errors" added under the log block. | ||||
| Additional Information | 4.0.1 is compiled with remote includes. | ||||
| 3rd party modules | |||||

Travis: since you have already been working on the kevent I/O engine for hours, fixing nenolod's bugs, this one is for you :D |
|
|
Having a look - if everything else appears to be working this is likely a false alarm or an unexpected return code that does not indicate an error in our code but just a quirk in the kqueue engine. I'll fully investigate though to validate that is the case. |
|
|
Travis: It was reproducible for you? Did you find & fix the issue? |
|
|
I am too looking forward to having this resolved. Currently running without the error log and that's hardly optimal. Thanks for your reminder, Syzop. |

Ok, I'm not going to delay the 4.0.2 release for this, it has been a month already. I've now silenced these errors, they will only appear when compiled with DEBUGMODE. I'm not sure if it's the right move but since you say it works otherwise well, and Travis says too, I'm going for that for now.. Travis: can you still look into this? |
|
|
If only i will be able to use error log and do so via syslog, I am all good. No awkward behavior observed of any other sort, as said, and i've been running 4.0.1 for over a month now. |

Thanks for the information. I've released 4.0.2 which includes the necessary changes. I'm leaving this bug open until Travis has looked fully into the issue. |
|
|
Syslog logging works as expected in 4.0.2. Thanks for the fix. |

The warning was removed a few versions ago and I looked at this myself while debugging another issue. The error pops up when trying to delete a write notification event (from the SSL code path). It's completely harmless, though it would be even better if we save ourselves the unnecessary function call. Not really important. |
