src: fix sporadic deadlock in SIGUSR1 handler #5904
Conversation
Failure in CI looks related. |
The freebsd102-64 one anyway:
I'm going to run the CI again because that test has been flaky in the past: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-pull-request/2073/ |
Two failures in CI on freebsd again. |
is this relevant to v4, btw? |
Yes, v4 is affected. I speculate the freebsd failures are due to libc's sem_post() not being async signal-safe, contrary to what POSIX mandates. It's probably possible to work around that by picking up an alternative implementation from libthr but I need to build up the courage to go in and actually do it. |
@bnoordhuis If something scares you then I probably wouldn't know where to start, but if you want to pair on it or if there is something I can do to help let me know |

Slightly different take that doesn't use atomics: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-pull-request/2524/ If that doesn't fix FreeBSD, I'm marking the test flaky on that platform. |

@addaleax Good catch, although that attitude is frustrating: why make writing cross-platform software easier when you can be pedantically correct in your interpretation of the spec? Anyway, I added a workaround, let's see how it fares: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-pull-request/2537/ |
@bnoordhuis I don’t know, they effectively made the minimum stack provided by the pthreads implementation useless for anything but setting up a new stack and seem to know that. Wouldn’t be a fan of that either if I were a regular FreeBSD user. CI is green up to general hickups and the code changes here LGTM. |
Calling v8::Debug::DebugBreak() directly from the signal handler is unsafe because said function tries to grab a mutex. Work around that by starting a watchdog thread that is woken up from the signal handler, which then calls v8::Debug::DebugBreak(). Using a watchdog thread also removes the need to use atomic operations so this commit does away with that. Fixes: nodejs#5368 PR-URL: nodejs#5904 Reviewed-By: Anna Henningsen <anna@addaleax.net>

@bnoordhuis do you think this is safe to land in v4.x? |
I'd give it a little longer. It's only been released in v6.2.0 so far. |
@bnoordhuis thought on backporting now? |
I think it should be good to go now. |
@bnoordhuis just tried and it didn't land cleanly, would you be willing to backport? |
ping @bnoordhuis for a backport |

Description of change
Calling v8::Debug::DebugBreak() directly from the signal handler is
unsafe because said function tries to grab a mutex. Work around that
by starting a watchdog thread that is woken up from the signal handler,
which then calls v8::Debug::DebugBreak().
