core when running nested Mir

[Alan Griffiths]

During testing of display configuration errors while replugging an external monitor (on a laptop) I crashed the nested Mir server...

It doesn't seem to be related to the plugging, just to having an external monitor attached.

/1/ The system compositor:

    $ DISPLAY= sudo bin/mir_demo_server --window-manager system-compositor --arw-file --vt 1 --display-config sidebyside

/2/ The nested compositor:

    $ DISPLAY= bin/mir_demo_server --host /tmp/mir_socket --display-config sidebyside

/3/ A client:

    $ bin/mir_demo_client_egltriangle

After some time (around half an hour) I get the following core and stack trace:

Core was generated by `bin/mir_demo_server.bin --host /tmp/mir_socket --display-config sidebyside'.
Program terminated with signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

[Alan Griffiths (alan-griffiths)]

On further investigation, I get the same error without doing any plugging of the external monitor. Just leaving the system running for a while (didn't time it - about half an hour).

[Alan Griffiths (alan-griffiths)]

Still not sure what triggers this, but it doesn't seem to happen without an external monitor attached.

[Alan Griffiths (alan-griffiths)]

This is intel laptop running vivid with Mir trunk.

[Alexandros Frantzis (afrantzis)]

With an intel GPU, Mir trunk, latest wily, moving the client window between screens causes the nested server to crash soon after (although not immediately). The backtrace I get is:

[Alan Griffiths (alan-griffiths)]

Also reproduced with wily with Mir trunk.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

If it's occurring even without an external monitor, might be related to bug 1489689.

[Alan Griffiths (alan-griffiths)]

Can no longer reproduce on wily with Mir 0.18 or trunk. Possibly related to a specific mesa revision.
