| 2011-09-22 05:36:47 | Fathi Boudra | description | See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687367 | In bionic (ugh), domain name functions (getaddrinfo, gethostbyname_r, et al) are not thread-safe because stdio is not thread-safe... These functions rely on stdio for reading from the /etc/hosts file. AFAIK in Gecko, we launch worker threads which call these domain functions, and we crash inside bionic when we run into such a race condition in stdio. This is the #2 top crasher in 7.0 Beta and #1 in 6.0. I haven't seen single-core devices running into these crashes, but on dual-core devices they are a lot more severe. The ugly fix would be using locks around getaddrinfo calls. Another workaround would be setting the CPU affinity on worker threads; doesn't fix the issue, but should make it a lot less common. Also, might be possible to not use getaddrinfo, but that seems to have implications in IPv6 support (Bug 626866); Complete thread on: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687367 | |
