Summary0000590: SELECT'ing on an invalid FD
DescriptionHi,

I'm running amuled 2.0.3 on NetBSD 3.0 beta. It has run very stable for me until lately when I tried to download a lot more files than I usually do (normally around 20-30 simultaneously, now around 60). Upon startup everything works normally, but after around 15 minutes (I suspect the number of open connections has risen above a certain threshold by then) the problems start:
amuled starts consuming a lot of cpu-time (basically 100%) - download speed will drop to practically zero, the uploads keep running just fine. Though the daemon remains responsive, it won't download anymore. I've run a ktrace on amuled to see what triggers the problem, here is the significant part:

[the last 2 lines now keep repeating literally several million times]

It seems as if the closed fd isn't purged from the array of fds that is passed to select. I also noted, that you call select with more than 0xFF filedescriptors to watch. On NetBSD, select will only look at the first 0xFF fds by default - a workaround is given on the select-manpage but it doesn't seem like you implement it. A temporary fix is to limit the number of maximum connections to a number somewhat lower than 0xFF - In fact, even the 100% cpu-usage issue *seems *to have gone away after I've done that.
BTW: I have of course checked that i don't hit any ulimits ore other kernel-setting-imposed resource boundaries.
