I've been writing a program that listens on three different ports to handle
different protocols (http and two custom). I've been testing it for
awhile, and so far it's been working w/o problems. However, I just ran
into a situation where I stopped and restarted my program within the space
of a minute or so and it popped back with this error:

runtime: epollwait on fd -38 failed with 9

It's no clear to me what this signifies, and I was hoping someone here
could tell me -- I'm wondering if it implies I might be setting my servers
incorrectly. It appears to be coming from line 75 of
http://golang.org/src/pkg/runtime/netpoll_epoll.c, and I'm guessing 9
indicates an errno?

     70 retry: 71 n = runtime·epollwait(epfd, events, nelem(events), waitms); 72 if(n < 0) { 73 if(n != -EINTR && n != lasterr) { 74 lasterr = n; 75 runtime·printf("runtime: epollwait on fd %d failed with %d\n", epfd, -n); 76 } 77 goto retry; 78 }

    9 is EBADF, which makes sense, -38 is not a valid file descriptor.

    Hrm, do you know if the the epoll have from a on a Listen? Besides
    the stock net/http server my in-house protocol server is listening on
    a socket and passing accepted connections off to a handler (nothing
    was making requests to the port at the time the error surfaced).

    // ListenAndServe binds to p.addr and serves requests.
    func (p *Proxy) ListenAndServe() (err error) {
      p.ln, err = net.Listen("tcp", p.listenAddr)
      if err != nil {
       return err
      }

      var tempDelay time.Duration
      for {
       conn, err := p.ln.Accept()
       if err != nil {
        if ne, ok := err.(net.Error); ok && ne.Temporary() {
         if tempDelay == 0 {
          tempDelay = 5 * time.Millisecond
         } else {
          tempDelay *= 2
         }
         if max := 1 * time.Second; tempDelay > max {
          tempDelay = max
         }
         if m, ok := trace.M(traceId, trace.Warn); ok {
          trace.T(m, "%v: retrying in %s", err, tempDelay)
         }
         time.Sleep(tempDelay)
         continue
        }
        return err
       }
       tempDelay = 0
       go p.Handle(newConn(conn, p.dur, p.wg))
      }
    }

    What version of Go is this? tip or 1.1.1?

    Can you reproduce this reliably? It might be useful to look at an strace of
    this program when this happens (if you're on Linux).

    Cheers

    I haven't been able to reproduce it. I think I'll put in some code to catch
    the particular error and print out a stack.

    hi jim,
       I wonder that have you solved this "epollwait" issue? Because I recieved
    the same error recently.

    thanks.

    Which version of Go are you using. AFAIK the underlying issue was solved a
    year ago.

    It is "go version go1.3 linux/amd64" which is the most updated for
    now(2014-08-14).

    Thanks for confirming. Please file a new bug, golang.org/issue including
    some kind of code to reproduce the problem.
