Tracker Crashes When Starting / Booting Haiku

[tonestone57]

Tracker crashes when booting into Haiku version 22380.

Seems to happen only about 20% of all boots - somewhat seldom occurrence. Tracker starts up fine the other 80% of booting into Haiku.

Tracker Back Trace

I'm seen it happen on startup with r22389, not every reboot and not always tracker. Saw deskbar crash on the very first r22389 bootup, pressing ctrl-alt-del then restart desktop brought it back. In 10 or so reboots i've seen tracker crash 2 or 3 of those times, deskbar once, and even had media_server crash once. Didn't see this happen prior to this image, my previous image was from 4-5 days ago.

I assume this is the same thing experienced in #1512.

This was mentioned in comments from forum post:

Probably not the same as #1512, as this isn't a freeze up, it's the deskbar and/or tracker and/or other crashing with a dialog box... We are able to press the continue button and then press ctrl-alt-alt. Then click on restart desktop and then everything is fine. Well except for the other instabilities that have also been reported with the latest builds. But these recent bugs might all be inter-related though.

The problem is this:

reading page from store 0x908ef500 (cache 0x908dc980) returned: Device/File/Resource busy!
vm_page_fault: vm_soft_fault returned error 'Device/File/Resource busy' on fault at 0x3c4206, ip 0x3c4206, write 0, user 1, thread 0x4b

It seems the TryLock() in bfs_read_pages() isn't a good idea after all.

Thanks bonefish, I'm hoping someone will fix it soon.

I was going to do further testing with a newer Haiku image but had no time.

The crashing was only occurring with tracker when first starting up Haiku. I must have had tracker crash about 5 ( to 7 ) times and deskbar 3 times on about 12 boot ups.

This is on a single core, Athlon XP system. I believe those with multi-core were experiencing the tracker crashing more often.

I'll retest Haiku image once I know this bug has been fixed.

PS bug 1512 sounded similar, but that one concerns the system "freezing" and this one is about tracker and/or deskbar crashing on boot. Though the same issue might be affecting both bugs?

Fixed in r22434.
