Subject: Stream Device and Asyn

Hi all,

I have an Asyn driver (SSH) that I'm attempting to use with Stream Device.

My setup

EPICS_BASE=/home/epics/R3.14.12.2/base
ASYN=/home/epics/R3.14.12.2/asyn4-18
STREAM=/home/epics/R3.14.12.2/stream2-6

Here is my protocol file

>> more test.proto

stringIO {
  out "cpu\n";
}
When I process the record that executes the stringIO routine I get the following IOC output (with asyn trace set)
epics> 2013/04/08 15:03:39.859 SSH1 addr -1 queueRequest priority 0 not lockHolder 
2013/04/08 15:03:39.859 SSH1 schedule queueRequest timeout

2013/04/08 15:03:40.347 device read.
When I look at those messages I agree that the device read will return a read error, as there is nothing to read back. What I don't understand is why readIt is called at all. I was expecting the protocol function to only call into writeIt. What I see is that readIt appears to be called with a timeout of 0. Can anyone help me with this? My asyn driver is (loosely) based on the drvAsynIPPort driver, with an additional library in place of the actual socket calls made, and simplified as much as possible.
The output messages continue indefinitely when I process the record, disconnecting, reconnecting, attempt a read... etc.
I have successfully used the driver with a custom asyn motor record device support layer, and so the driver is functional (at least to some extent!) 

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Kind regards, Alan Greer
