In synApps 5.7 what happens if you use an asynRecord to force the asynPort to reconnect.  Does StreamDevice then start working?

 

When the device is disconnected does asyn report that it is disconnected?  Use the following command when the device is disconnected:

 

asynReport 10 ASYN_PORT_NAME

Hi Mark

Thanks for a quick response.

The IOC runs on Scientific Linux 6.5 x86-64 and its default kernel.  Yes, I have upgraded it (from 6.4 to 6.5) prior to SynApps upgrade.

Linux udev system is configured in a way that my usb-serial device gets always the same device name (/dev/ttyUSBPIC) no matter what other devices are present (major, minor device numbers can change).

I've double-checked Asyn 4.21 re-connection ability using asynRecord (.CNCT, .PCNCT).
It works fine, so the issue might be a glitch in the new StreamDevice.

Nevertheless, I've kept SynApps-5-6 installed and compared re-connection behavior to 5.7.
The older version is fine -- If my usb-serial device is physically disconnected, IOC with SynApps-5-6 reports:

2014/04/07 16:55:20.994 PORT EEE:volts: connection closed in write
2014/04/07 16:55:25.994 PORT EEE:volts: pasynCommon->connect() failed: /dev/ttyUSBPIC Can't open  No such device
2014/04/07 16:55:25.994 PORT EEE:volts: Protocol aborted

and when the usb-serial device is connected back, R/W operations continue as usual.

Whereas with the new version (5.7), IOC shell is kind of silent unless I try to reload StreamDevice protocol :

epics> streamReload EEE:volts
2014/04/08 11:46:52.567355 _main_ StreamCore::finishProtocol(EEE:volts): Still waiting for writeSuccess()
2014/04/08 11:46:52.567398 _main_ EEE:volts: Protocol aborted


or unless I try to use StreamDevice's connect command (through the EEE:CONNECT PV):

epics> dbpf EEE:CONNECT 1
DBR_STRING:          "ON"    
epics> 2014/04/07 17:10:06.446437 timerQueue EEE:CONNECT: Connect failed
2014/04/07 17:10:06.446482 timerQueue EEE:CONNECT: Protocol aborted
?2014/04/07 17:10:07.536724 timerQueue EEE:CONNECT: Connect failed
?2014/04/07 17:10:07.536747 timerQueue EEE:CONNECT: Protocol aborted


but the connection is not re-established anyway. Furthermore, protocol reload makes IOC shell stuck.

There is an older post about different connection issue, but also with StreamDevice & Asyn.
So, with the new version (5.7), I've checked whether the timerQueue thread is OK and checked for any locked mutexes.
The thread is OK.
There is a mutex reported as locked once the usb-serial device is diconnected, however it remains locked when the device is connected back.

epics> epicsMutexShowAll 1
ellCount(&mutexList) 112 ellCount(&freeList) 0
epicsMutexId 0x1d5bfd0 source ../../asyn/asynDriver/asynManager.c line 1868


No mutexes remain locked after the usb-device re-connection with the older version (5.6). But this could be just a result of the issue.

Hi Tomas,

 

There were no substantive changes in the drvAsynSerialPort code between asyn 4.18 and asyn 4.21.  SVN tag 1917 is asyn 4.18 and tag 2203 is asyn 4.21.

 

Here are the differences:

So the changes are removing “\n” from the end of epicsSNprintf formats, and some other minor changes to avoid compiler warnings.

 

Is this on Linux?

 

Have you upgraded the OS?

 

I think any change in behavior is likely due either to a change in StreamDevice or a change in the OS, and not due to any change in asyn.

Subject: Streamdevice 2.6 autoconnection failure using drvAsynSerialPort

 


Hello

Automatic re-connection seems to be broken with recent streamdevice & asyn.

Recently, we upgraded SynApps from 5.6 to version 5.7 and so streamdevice 2.5.1 & Asyn 4.18 to streamdevice 2.6 & Asyn 4.21.

One of IOCs here is using serial port ( as /dev/ttyUSBxxx ) and device controlled by it disconnects often.
With SynApps 5.6, everything ran smoothly. After the upgrade to SynApps 5.7, the IOC is not able to reconnect anymore.

As far as I've tested, drvAsynIPPort reconnects well with both SynApps 5.6 and 5.7, so its just serial port variant which is affected.

Could you anyone address this issue and provide some hints or fix.

Regards,

Tomas Mazanec
