TCS Confidential
Hi Stephen,
Thank you for your reply.
Please find my answers inline.
1.Do you have threads fighting over timer?
No , we are running the thread on only one core so there is no deadlock here. But as discussed earlier the thread is getting stuck in an infinite while loop with prev[lvl]->sl_next[lvl] = -459511634 in timer_get_prev_enteries().
2.What context is rte_timer_reset() being called in?
During Uplink and Downlink data transfer, we are using the thread of fronthaul library, where it executes callbacks for every 1 ms, and for every call back we are trying to reset the timer.
3.The commit id"[cid:2e8dda97-6a2a-474d-ba0a-98e7789a4014]" which you have shared, we are unable to find it in the git. If possible, can you please share the link of the same?

Do you have threads fighting over timer?
What context is rte_timer_reset() being called in?
> 2. That is,in prev[lvl]->sl_next[lvl] = -459511634 is taking negative value in a while loop as in the below code snippet and is going in an infinite loop because of which the above thread is getting stuck here and it is failing. Can
we get possible scenarios when this type of errors generally occurs?

Please don't put this on mailing list mail.
