hrev47167, gcc2 hybrid.

After several hours of uptime network connectivity might get lost in vbox.

I only noticed it when I launched HaikuDepot and it crashed. Had two crashes with somewhat different backtraces.

I also saw these random crashes as soon as HaikuDepot started using the network HTTP classes. These seem to be just the same kind of crashes I see in WebPositive all the time (more frequently on a quad code machine, much less frequently on a dual core machine). My suspicion is that the HTTP stuff has a bug that corrupts memory. Most often, it crashes in some BString memory management code. It is also possible that there is a bug in BString which is triggered by specific behavior in the HTTP code, but if there was a problem in BString, one would think it got exposed more often.

Reproducing this with libroot_debug would help locating the issue more precisely.

I personally saw KDLs in the net stack, just after HaikuDepot was started. No such crash with pkgman.

During offline testing of the install-wifi-firmwares script, I noticed this crash and found a simple way to reproduce it fairly reliably:

  • Boot Haiku with either no network adapter attached, or the network cable unplugged
  • Start HaikuDepot and select Tools --> Refresh depots
  • Wait a while for HaikuDepot to crash (if it doesn't crash, try refreshing the depots again)

Thanks for the traces. Two different traces point at memory corruption. Both in the code which uses the HTTP network kit stuff.

After I reviewed the HTTP code and pointed out race conditions in the cookie and authentication code to pulkomandy, and after he fixed these, I have not had a single crash in HaikuDepot (not HTTP related or otherwise). Can this be closed?

Replying to stippi:

Can this be closed?

Fwiw, I am no longer able to reproduce the crash.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

I haven't tested HaikuDepot with no internet connection but if it crashes again we can always reopen it :)
