[comp.sys.next] MACH/DSP problem

rwb@vi.ri.cmu.edu (Bob Berger) (09/18/90)

I have an application which trades lots of small data packets with
the DSP. It currently works fine using memory mapped DSP access, but
I would like to try message based access since I'm told memory mapped
will not be supported in the future.

The application trades a few hundred messages back and forth with the
DSP, and then snddriver_dsp_read() gets a KERN_RESOURCE_SHORTAGE error,
and the system promptly reboots with a  'zone "messages" empty' error.

This sounds to me like the OS has a core leak. Any suggestions (besides
giving up on MACH and sticking with the memory mapped mode)?

Please reply via email.
