Note: many other tests fail on this buildbot (because of file permissions?) which looks to be ill.

test_multiprocessing frequently hangs on FreeBSD < 8 buildbots, and this probably has to do with the limit on the max number of POSIX semaphores:

There are probably dangling semaphores, since the test doesn't use that much POSIX semaphores. Either way, we can't do much about it...

Yes, see issue #10348.
msg147941 - (view) Author: Charles-François Natali (neologix) * (Python committer) Date: 2011-11-19 13:24
Alright, I got tired of seeing the FreeBSD buildbots consistently choke on test_multiprocessing, so here's a simple patch that skips the test if the OS doesn't support a reasonable number (30) of semaphores.
msg147953 - (view) Author: STINNER Victor (vstinner) * (Python committer) Date: 2011-11-19 16:46
Testing os.sysconf("SC_SEM_NSEMS_MAX") value is maybe better than creating 30 semaphores. See the function added by the changeset 746143ec1f60 (fixing #10798) is maybe faster than creating 30 semaphores.

Value on the FreeBSD 7.2 buildbot:

>>> import os
>>> os.sysconf("SC_SEM_NSEMS_MAX")
30

> Testing os.sysconf("SC_SEM_NSEMS_MAX") value is maybe better than

Yeah, I thought about that, but the problem is that it doesn't take into account the number of semaphores already allocated: so, for example, if sysconf() returns 50 but you already have 30 allocated semaphores, the test will fail with ENOFILE.
But if we consider that most buildbots don't have many semaphores allocated (and in particular no dangling semaphores), and that FreeBSD 8 has a limit substentially higher than 30 (ideally above 256), then I guess we could use this.
Patch attached.
msg148065 - (view) Author: STINNER Victor (vstinner) * (Python committer) Date: 2011-11-21 17:20
I tried test_multi_sem-1.diff on "x86 FreeBSD 7.2 3.x" buildbot: the patch works as expected, the test suite is skipped.

A minor nit: can you write the number of semaphore in the skip message? Except of this nit, the patch looks good to me (and I prefer test_multi_sem-1.diff over test_multi_sem.diff).

Alright, the test is now skipped when the system doesn't support enough POSIX semaphores.
I'm closing, we can still reopen in case another similar problem pops up (on other OS of course).
