[Bug 1630302] Re: Multi-threaded luaJIT application hangs; apparent deadlock in GLIBC

 

This bug was fixed in the package glibc - 2.23-0ubuntu4

---------------
glibc (2.23-0ubuntu4) xenial; urgency=medium

  * debian/rules.d/tarball.mk: Apply --no-renames to make the diff readable.
  * debian/patches/git-updates.diff: Update from release/2.23/master branch:
    - Include fix for potential makecontext() hang on ARMv7 (CVE-2016-6323)
    - Include fix for SEGV in sock_eq with nss_hesiod module (LP: #1571456)
    - Include malloc fixes, addressing multithread deadlocks (LP: #1630302)
    - debian/patches/hurd-i386/cvs-libpthread.so.diff: Dropped, upstreamed.
    - debian/patches/any/submitted-argp-attribute.diff: Dropped, upstreamed.
    - debian/patches/hurd-i386/tg-hurdsig-fixes-2.diff: Rebased to upstream.
  * debian/patches/ubuntu/local-altlocaledir.diff: Updated to latest version
    from Martin that limits scope to LC_MESSAGES, fixing segv (LP: #1577460)
  * debian/patches/any/cvs-cos-precision.diff: Fix cos() bugs (LP: #1614966)
  * debian/testsuite-xfail-debian.mk: Allow nptl/tst-signal6 to fail on ARM.

  Multi-threaded luaJIT application hangs; apparent deadlock in GLIBC

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:

Status in glibc source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  ---Problem Description---
  Multi-threaded luaJIT application hangs due to apparent deadlock in GLIBC.
    
  ---uname output---
  Linux p10a102 4.4.0-36-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Thu Aug 11 18:00:57 UTC 2016 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux
    
  ---Steps to Reproduce---
   Build luaJIT + Torch and run the following lua program:

  local Threads = require 'threads'
  nthreads = 8
  thrds = Threads(nthreads,
           function()  print('Starting thread ') end,
           function()  require 'image' end
        );
   
  thrds:synchronize()
  print "Done"
   
  Userspace tool common name: GLIBC 
   
  The userspace tool has the following bit modes: 64-bit 

  Userspace package: GLIBC 2.23

  Userspace tool obtained from project website:  https://github.com/PPC64/torch-distro.git   ecb487a3e807c3bfc901cab0b9e8767a853e085d 
   
  Here's a sample run of the lua application and stack backtraces for all the threads.  You can all the worker threads are in GLIBC's __lll_lock_wait_private() waiting on various locks. They're traversing various paths to their lock waits--some threads in IO paths, some in allocation paths, and some in dlsym().

  Problem is easily recreatable, and is more likely to strike as the
  number of threads grows.

  I can provide core file, or package with the luajit/torch binaries,
  etc. as needed.

      malloc: Remove malloc hooks from fork handler
      
      The fork handler now runs so late that there is no risk anymore that
      other fork handlers in the same thread use malloc, so it is no
      longer necessary to install malloc hooks which made a subset
      of malloc functionality available to the thread that called fork.

      malloc: Run fork handler as late as possible [BZ #19431]
      
      Previously, a thread M invoking fork would acquire locks in this order:
      
        (M1) malloc arena locks (in the registered fork handler)
        (M2) libio list lock
      
      A thread F invoking flush (NULL) would acquire locks in this order:
      
        (F1) libio list lock
        (F2) individual _IO_FILE locks
      
      A thread G running getdelim would use this order:
      
        (G1) _IO_FILE lock
        (G2) malloc arena lock
      
      After executing (M1), (F1), (G1), none of the threads can make progress.
      
      This commit changes the fork lock order to:
      
        (M'1) libio list lock
        (M'2) malloc arena locks
      
      It explicitly encodes the lock order in the implementations of fork,
      and does not rely on the registration order, thus avoiding the deadlock.

      	* malloc/Makefile (tst-malloc-backtrace,
      	tst-malloc-thread-exit, tst-malloc-thread-fail): Use
      	 instead of hardcoding the path to libpthread.

      malloc: Remove NO_THREADS
      
      No functional change.  It was not possible to build without
      threading support before.
