- <pinotree> [169/340/1] test_logging
- <pinotree> python:
- /home/pino/sources/hurd/hurd-20110519/./libpthread/pthread/pt-internal.h:109:
- __pthread_enqueue: Assertion `thread->prevp == 0' failed.

- <pinotree> am i missing anything, or in libpthread the __pthread_threads
- list does not ever has elements removed from it?
- <pinotree> ... thus potentially causing
- "./libpthread/pthread/pt-internal.h:109: __pthread_enqueue: Assertion
- `thread->prevp == 0' failed." because threads can be appended on
- __pthread_dealloc() to the __pthread_free_threads list as well?
- <pinotree> maybe reusing the same next+prevp pointers in the __pthread
- struct for more than one list at the same time isn't a good idea...

- <youpi> pinotree: I don't understand the relation between thread->prevp !=
- 0 and the __pthread_threads list
- <youpi> the list never has elements removed indeed, since libpthread never
- frees __pthread structures apparently
- <pinotree> youpi: ye sorry, that relation is indeed nonsense
- <youpi> in which condition did you get prevp != 0
- <pinotree> i wa trying to find some explaination for the "thread->prevp ==
- 0" assertion in the _queue function
- <youpi> ?
- <pinotree> *was
- <youpi> it's not obvious to me how libpthread makes sure the various
- cond/mutex/rwlock make sure that it's not queued several times
- <pinotree> yeah
- <pinotree> apparently prevp/next are used for lists of held
- waitcond/mutex/rwlock and free threads

- <braunr> aw
- <braunr> i hit the ext2fs.static: ./pthread/pt-internal.h:122:
- __pthread_enqueue: Assertion `thread->prevp == 0' failed.
- <braunr> assertion
- <braunr> looks like there is a deadlock on assert
- <braunr> which might explain why i never saw progress when i tested that in
- the past

- <braunr> damn, there still bugs in libpthread
- <braunr> (about prevp not being null when it should i mean)
- <pinotree> braunr: found another trigger for that?
- <braunr> no
- <braunr> it's so random i wonder if it's not a completely unrelated
- corruption
- <braunr> pinotree: also, i'm having more of these issues with my custom
- hurd packages that let threads exit after some time from managing ports
- <braunr> (i removed the libports_stability patch)
- <braunr> i once had this : http://www.sceen.net/~rbraun/darnassus_crash.png

- <braunr> removing the libports_stability patch exposed bugs in libpthread,
- triggering assertions when queueing/dequeue threads from a queue (but i
- don't know which one / in which function)

- https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libmemcached&ver=1.0.17-2&arch=hurd-i386&stamp=1372165732
- <pinotree> make: ./pthread/pt-internal.h:122: __pthread_enqueue: Assertion
- `thread->prevp == 0' failed. \o/
- <pinotree> (it should rather be /o\, but better pretend not)
- <braunr> pinotree: yes, we regularly see it
- <braunr> pinotree: how long has the machine been running at this point ?
- <pinotree> dunno, you should ask samuel about that
- <pinotree> does it happen after N hours/days?
- <braunr> a few days of moderate to high activity yes
- <pinotree> ah ok
- <braunr> and i actually see this error much more often when i disable the
- libports stability patch in the hurd debian package
- <braunr> so i guess something is wrong with thread recycling
- <braunr> but i wanted to completely rewrite that part with the new kernel
- call i asked bddebian to work on :)
