#11452 closed bug (not reproducible)

Race condition in BPopUpMenu leads to KDL

Description (last modified by waddlesplash)

This may not be easy to trigger...

We are supposed to only allow one popup menu on a given view at a time. This doesn't work perfectly however and I often manage to open two menus in Tracker: the desktop one and the specific menu for a given icon (you have to be fast to do this - right click on the desktop and then on the icon a short time after that, but before the first menu is open).

Usually this is harmless and only leads to the two menus opening. But today I went to KDL.

PANIC: vm_page_fault: unhandled page fault in kernel space at 0x706f78, ip 0x80084ba2

The panic is in wait_for_thread_etc, called by BPopUpMenu::_Go. It seems that it's trying to access invalid thread data.

I should note that I was trying to replicate the CDDA panics/corruption, so that may be the actual problem...

Still an issue after user_memcpy changes?
