#5498 reopened bug

bfs_shell : stray processes stay active

Reported by: mmadia Owned by: bonefish
Priority: normal Milestone: R1.1
Component: Build System Version: R1/Development
Keywords: Cc: mati@…
Blocked By: Blocking:
Platform: All

Description

For yet undetermined reasons, bfs_shell will remain as an idle process, long after the build cycle completes. This has been observed on FreeBSD 8.0 and on Haiku itself. Attached is some ps output from FreeBSD.

Hopefully fixed in hrev40097/hrev40100.

Same problem occures when building ppc (hrev41933) on ppc (osx leopard and debian squeeze hosts tested).

Please don't reopen and re-purpose closed tickets. Since Matt hasn't added anymore feedback, I assume the original problem is gone. The communication between bfs_shell and client has been rewritten completely, using FIFOs instead of Unix sockets. At least theoretically it shouldn't be possible anymore that bfs_shell continues to wait for commands after build_haiku_image terminated unexpectedly, which I believe was the original issue.

Please open a new ticket and attach the relevant parts of the ps and lsof output. It would also be nice, if you could attach a gdb (gdb <pid>) to the running bfs_shell and get a back trace (bt).

Sorry about that. I must've wanted to wait some time after hrev40097 + hrev40100 and simply forgot to check. Here's the output from the Build-O-Matic box. The bfs_shell processes do seem to be lingering around.

If lsof or something equivalent exists on FreeBSD, please attach the output, and another ps output, if something has changed. It would help if you could point out a process that should be gone -- at least from the ps output I can't guess that. Please also attach gdb to the process and get a back trace.

Here's a new block of stats from today. It seems that any process with TT = "??" or STAT = "IW" is an abandoned process (21775, 25457, 27007, 60066, 63667, 65200, 69804, 87355, 88822, 90320)

The bfs_shell's open files look OK. The open FIFO ends are as expected:

929	bfs_shell 21775 mmadia    3r                                        0xcb5852d8 file struct, ty=0x4, op=0xc0d89ce0
930	bfs_shell 21775 mmadia    4w                                        0xc6eb57e0 file struct, ty=0x4, op=0xc0d89ce0
931	bfs_shell 21775 mmadia    5r                                        0xcb5852d8 file struct, ty=0x4, op=0xc0d89ce0
932	bfs_shell 21775 mmadia    6w                                        0xc6eb57e0 file struct, ty=0x4, op=0xc0d89ce0

The reason why bfs_shell doesn't quit is that there's still a shell around which holds the other ends of the FIFOs open (FDs 3 and 4):

911	sh        21773 mmadia    3r                                        0xc6eb4d20 file struct, ty=0x4, op=0xc0d89ce0
912	sh        21773 mmadia    4w                                        0xc6f33b98 file struct, ty=0x4, op=0xc0d89ce0
913	sh        21773 mmadia    5r                                        0xcb5852d8 file struct, ty=0x4, op=0xc0d89ce0
914	sh        21773 mmadia    6w                                        0xc6eb57e0 file struct, ty=0x4, op=0xc0d89ce0

Interestingly, as we can see, FDs 5 and 6 are still referring to bfs_shell's FIFO ends. build_haiku_image, however, closes those FDs right after starting bfs_shell. This leads to the conclusion that either closing the FDs doesn't work as it should (bug in FreeBSD's shell?) or this isn't the shell executing build_haiku_image, but one that had been forked off earlier. Please try to find out more about that shell. ps it at least. Don't know what other tools FreeBSD has. Attaching gdb to get a back trace might help too. Hopefully that works better for the shell.

Regarding your gdb session. Have you tried to continue it ("n")? You could also try to start gdb with an LD_LIBRARY_PATH including <generated>/objects/freebsd/lib/ -- maybe the bug is triggered by gdb not finding libroot_build.so.
