Erts 5.9.3.3 + +
Known Bugs and Problems + + +

Miscellaneous native code in OTP misbehave either due + to lengthy execution, or due to not bumping reductions + properly. Problems typically occur when passing huge sets + of data to a misbehaving BIF. Fixing this has high + priority and is being worked on, but there will remain + issues like this for some time.

+

In order to alleviate problems with scheduling which + might occur when executing misbehaving native code, the + command line argument +sfwi has been + introduced.

+

By default this feature is disabled and you are + advised not to enable it if you do not encounter problems + with misbehaving native code.

+

When enabled it has the following impact on the + characteristics of the system:

Work will + always be distributed between schedulers even when + executing misbehaving native code. It may + cause an increased amount of processes and/or ports + bouncing between schedulers which in turn will cause a + performance loss. It may cause reduced + performance due to reduced or lost work compaction when + all schedulers do not execute under full load. + An increased contention on run queue locks. + +
