Bug Description

Reproducible on mako and krillin using devel-proposed r248 or rtm r50

This is easiest to reproduce with the camera-app, as this has a number of large components that get loaded asynchronously on start-up, however I believe it should be possible to trigger in any app that contains asynchronous Loaders.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start camera-app

2. Whilst loading, swipe to the app switcher.

3. Close camera-app.

Expected result

App closes cleanly

Actual result

Sometimes the app segfaults whilst closing

It may take multiple attempts to cause a crash, as the SIGTERM signal has to be received at a certain point during the compilation process for the crash to occur.

Back trace of an example crash:

"There are still "1" items in the process of being created at engine destruction."
[Thread 0xac267450 (LWP 5576) exited]

I found one commit from the 5.3 branch that sounds possibly associated - https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/88153/ - and I've built it so that you can test it by:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:canonical-qt5-edgers/qt5-daily
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade

It should work both on rtm and utopic images.

In a certainly promising way I was able to crash it once before upgrading, and I don't get it to crash after updating, but it might be luck also.

Can you confirm Michael if that helps with the issue? If so, we don't need actual development resources allocated and I can start landing/testing process for that backported patch.

Unfortunately I'm still able to reproduce the crash with the new packages.

One extra thing to be aware of when testing this with camera-app is that until https://code.launchpad.net/~michael-sheldon/qtubuntu-camera/fix-1368436/+merge/235673 lands there is a separate, unrelated crash in qtubuntu-camera.

I think we can downgrade this bug since the crash happens when the user is closing the app anyway, it only happens on certain apps and it more time than not does not happen.

It was discussed in an e-mail thread that Albert could look at the remaining crasher at some point when there's some extra time.

Thanks Lorn! I've pushed another build to the qt5-daily PPA with the previous patch replaced by that new find. It will be ready for testing on armhf in around 2 hours.

The bug is currently not rtm tagged so this can wait a bit, especially with another rtm bug related qtdeclarative landing brewing at the moment by ricmm.

This new fix, if it fixes the problem, is not in Qt 5.3.2 so we will need to cherry-pick this anyway, even if we'd land 5.3.2 in November or so.
