[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] linux-user: call cpu_copy under clone_lock
Posted by Max Filippov 6 years ago
cpu_copy adds newly created CPU object to container/machine/unattached,
but does it w/o proper locking. As a result when multiple threads are
created rapidly QEMU may abort with the following message:

  GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_iter_next: assertion
  'ri->version == ri->hash_table->version' failed

  ERROR:qemu/qom/object.c:1663:object_get_canonical_path_component:
  code should not be reached

Move cpu_copy invocation under clone_lock to fix that.

Hi,

This series failed docker-quick@centos6 build test. Please find the testing commands and
their output below. If you have Docker installed, you can probably reproduce it
locally.

So my main concern is are we duplicating something already (should be?)
handled by fork_start/fork_end?

This serialises forks and ensures things like the cpu_list (which ~ a
thread list for linux-user) are updated safely.

clone_lock already exists, it protects state in case of thread creation,
it just didn't protect enough of it.

The work done by fork_start/fork_end appears to be heavier than
what's needed for thread creation, because fork_start stops all
other CPUs (to make sure that child process won't get locks owned
by threads that no longer exist in the child process), which is not
required for thread creation, hence thread creation uses clone_lock.

I'm wondering if it should be doing more. After all start/end_exclusive
rely on the cpu list and that isn't updated on thread creation - and
without that a bunch of other things fail like ld/st exclusive after
your first new thread is spawned.

This really needs some test cases to check.

So while I think clone_lock fixes this immediate problem I suspect there
is more to do for this case.
