The `ofs_Stall` is not coming from the OSS but from here: https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/blob/master/src/XrdOfs/XrdOfsHandle.cc#L203 It appears there's a modest contention on the file descriptor table -- one that does not particularly play well with what appears to be an ad-hoc implementation of a timed lock: https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/blob/master/src/XrdOfs/XrdOfsHandle.cc#L504 It's not obvious why one would utilize that instead of a wrapper around `pthread_mutex_timedlock`; it appears the hand-rolled version has similar guarantees as the standard function but worse performance. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
