Bug Description

SRU Info:
=========
[Impact]
Currently, libgrip causes a segfault crash when multiple instances of eog are opened in quick succession. This does not occur under typical use cases, but there may be instances where a user might select multiple images and open them all at once. Or maybe a user double clicks on an image and opens it twice accidentally.

[Development Fix]
The change, found in the upstream merge request associated with the bug, ensures that only currently mapped top-level widgets are registered for gestures. Currently, when any top-level widget is mapped all pending gesture subscriptions are registered, and if one of them wasn't mapped yet libgrip crashes. Note that this fix has not been uploaded in P because the P archive is not open yet.

[Stable Fix]
Please see lp:libgrip/oneiric. The patch added to fix this issue can be found at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~utouch-packaging/libgrip/oneiric/view/head:/debian/patches/0002-window_mapped_cb.patch.

[Test Case]
run gdb eog in a window
in another window cd to a directory with images in subdirectories and run the following command:

while true; do eog "$(find . -type d|sort -R |head -1|cut -f 1)"; done

It opens a random subdir every iteration but crashes quite quickly. You can try adding a little sleep:

while true; do eog "$(find . -type d|sort -R |head -1|cut -f 1)"; sleep 1; done

[Regression Potential]
Medium. This change affects how libgrip registers for gesture events. There is the potential that gestures will no longer be subscribed correctly. However, gestures is a "value-add" feature. The loss of gestures will not affect the fundamental functionality of the software.

Looks like it is triggered by some race condition when scanning a directory. I can reproduce by:

run gdb eog in a window
in another window cd to a directory with images in subdirectories and run the following command:

while true; do eog "$(find . -type d|sort -R |head -1|cut -f 1)"; done

It opens a random subdir every iteration but crashes quite quickly. You can try adding a little sleep:

while true; do eog "$(find . -type d|sort -R |head -1|cut -f 1)"; sleep 1; done

At a guess, could it be that eog is scanning the subdir (building thumbnails or something) and has not yet opened the gdk window. Another eog instance then gets launched, and there is now an invalid window pointer?

Seb,

My impression, based on the reproduction scenario above, was that this was not hitting a lot of people. Now that I realize we are getting many crash reports, I am focusing our team's resources on it. Jussi and Stephen are working on it now, though I'll be on planes tomorrow and won't be back until Tuesday. Stephen has been able to reproduce it, so I'm hoping we may have a fix early next week.

Just to clarify: I have seen this crash several times in usual usage. The reproducible scenario that I posted above was obviously somewhat artificial, but since the backtrace appears to be the same as the "usual" crash it seemed likely that they may be caused by the same issue, and so it would be useful to post the details. However, it is possible that the "usual" crash is not exactly the same as the easily reproducible crash.

Stephen M. Webb (bregma) wrote :

The proposed patch fixes a problem that could definitely (and only) occur any time two or more windows are opened in eog in fairly quick succession. If this is your usual usage, then it should fix the problem. If your regular usage is to just view a single picture at a time, there may still be an additional problem that requires further investigation.

Well, one possible scenario is that the user use single click to open in nautilus and double click on an image

Thanks for working on this, we will review the patch soon!

I updated to -proposed, ran the looping eog test case and saw the following two crashes but did not see the gdk_x11_window_get_xid() crash. So these crashes may or may not be related to this particular bug.

The first crash happens if you have an empty sub directory, eg:

$ ls -R
.:
a/ b/

./a:
test.jpg

./b:

$ while true; do eog "$(find . -type d|sort -R |head -1|cut -f 1)"; done

I'm not sure how best to handle this. Neither crashes appear to be caused by libgrip based on the backtrace alone, but that's not really sufficient to be sure.

Chris, can you determine if you see these same crashes with the utouch patch commented out?

Chris Bainbridge (chris-bainbridge) wrote :

I think that the test case is just particularly harsh in showing up race conditions in window startup. I ran the test case with "sleep 1" added between the calls to eog, and did not see a single instance of this gdk_x11_window_get_xid() crash. Previously that would have been enough to trigger it. So, I would suggest that this particular bug has probably been fixed and the others are independent bugs in eog - it's possible that the test case is particularly aggressive and a normal user would never see them.

Seems that the fix didnt quite catch all cases.

Right now, starting eog when logged in with user A works, but with user B eog explodes with a segmentation fault.

Running eog under strace gives the following output:

...
fstat(20, {st_mode=0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
fcntl(20, F_GETFL) = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR)

No idea why one user would have problems, when the other user doesnt.
