#49099 Nunc stans thread workers
Closed: wontfix 6 years ago Opened 7 years ago by firstyear.

Replace the slapi direct nspr thread control and event system with nuncstans. This includes timer tasks, async events, and worker threads themselves.

http://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/design/nunc-stans-workers.html

This can be targeted for 1.3.7 or later.

This patch serves a number of purposes:

  • Remove --enable-nunc-stans from configure. We always use it now.
  • Move the creation of the worker pool earlier so that all tasks can use it (ie ldif2db).
  • Fix detach handling to make the worker pool init easier
  • fix setuid calls (most of them were not needed)
  • Add test cases to show that timer events work as expected with NS. We need this for timer jobs like disk monitoring.

An important aspect of this patch is that it was tested with and without config.enable_nunc_stans on/off. This means if we have issues, we can still turn nunc-stans off and back out of the change.

Looks good! Nice and clean, no indentation/spacing issues :) Thanks!

It looks like a combination of things has a problem buildng though. :(

This "fix" broke the server. The server fails to install or start or stop, etc.

attaching gdb and running the startup shows

But the process never fully starts. Running start-dirsrv just hangs.

What are you doing to produce this error? I can't reproduce, and I can the full ticket test suite with the patch to make sure it worked. I'm confused to what's going on here....

If this is blocking you, revert it, and we can re-add later. Alternately, set nunc-stans OFF in libglobs.

1651     init_enable_nunc_stans = cfg->enable_nunc_stans = LDAP_ON;                                                           

^ That line in libglobs, set to LDAP_OFF.

I do a "make install" as I always do. But now I can not install servers, I can not stop or start them - they all hang here:

#0  0x00007ffff524f96d in pthread_join () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0
#1  0x00007ffff7bd2dba in ns_thrpool_wait (tp=0x8e19a0)

    at ../389-ds-base/ldap/servers/slapd/daemon.c:1107

And all the CI tests fail on the Jenkins server. If I go back to before this change everything works fine - which is what I did to workaround this problem, but this needs to get fixed asap.

Mate, no matter what I do, I can not reproduce this. Can you shoot me an email with thread apply all bt from the "broken" server? As well, can you give me the console output / error log?

I use this configure command (on F25):

CFLAGS='-g -pipe -Wall  -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4  -m64 -mtune=generic' CXXFLAGS='-g -pipe -Wall -O0 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic' ../389-ds-base/configure --enable-autobind --with-selinux --with-openldap --with-tmpfiles-d=/etc/tmpfiles.d --with-systemdsystemunitdir=/usr/lib/systemd/system --with-systemdsystemconfdir=/etc/systemd/system --enable-debug --with-systemdgroupname=dirsrv.target --with-fhs --libdir=/usr/lib64  --with-systemd

Then "make install"

Thread apply all shows all the worker threads, but main() is stuck trying to join a thread as shown above. It never detaches the process - you can only "attach" gdb if you use gdb to start the server: "gdb /usr/sbin/ns-slapd" --> set args --> run

There is also nothing in the logs. I even completely wiped my system of all things dirsrv, and started from scratch, but no luck. So for now I can only develop on the 1.3.6 branch.

I just want to chime in and confirm that server doesn't start fully after 19f676a. I'm using make -f rpm.mk srpms and build using mock.

I've managed to reproduce this. It looks like an issue with systemd + this patch. I'm working on it now.

Quick test shows it passes all the basic tests on a systemd enabled system.

Works for me. But I noticed that instance creation now takes 7 seconds instead of 2. I guess this is a side effect of e086b83?

Works for me, everything looks good, ack
