Bug #1341
closedpthread_cond_timedwait failing in 1.9.1-p0 thread tests on HP-UX 11i v2
Added by graza (Graham Agnew) over 15 years ago. Updated almost 12 years ago.
Description
=begin
I have been trying to compile and test 1.9.1-p0 on HP-UX 11i v2. When running the tests, the threads tests crash with the following bug:
[BUG] pthread_cond_timedwait: 22
ruby 1.9.1p0 (2009-01-30 revision 21907) [ia64-hpux11.23]-- control frame ----------¶
-- Ruby level backtrace information-----------------------------------------
[NOTE]
You may encounter a bug of Ruby interpreter. Bug reports are welcome.
For details: http://www.ruby-lang.org/bugreport.html
The errno 22 means EINVAL. I put some print statements into the thread_pthread.c file to work out what was going on and it looks like there's a condition variable that is being initialised twice.

Hi,
I guess this is the limitation of Solaris:
-
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/806-0630/6j9vkb8ct?a=view
EINVAL
...
For cond_timedwait(), the specified number of seconds, abstime,
is greater than current_time + 100,000,000, where current_time
is the current time, or the number of nanoseconds is greater
than or equal to 1,000,000,000.
Maybe, HP-UX has the same limitation, though I cannot find the
evidence.
I wrote a workaround patch:

Today I downloaded, patched, and compiled the latest snapshot.
On HP-UX, that patch stopped the rb_bug_errno happening, although test/ruby/test_thread.rb scripts blocked indefinitely. On being interrupted it was the following test:
#874 test_thread.rb:34:in `<top (required)>':
The code in your patch doesn't look right to me. Shouldn't the code re-fetch the time using gettimeofday each time through the loop, and then add the MEGA_SEC to that? As it is, it's wrong because it adds a MEGA_SEC to tvn, so after one MEGA_SEC it will enter a hard loop.
Cheers,
Gra.

Hi,
2010/5/6 Graham Agnew redmine@ruby-lang.org:
On HP-UX, that patch stopped the rb_bug_errno happening, although the test/ruby/test_io.rb and test/ruby/test_thread.rb scripts both blocked indefinitely.
The code in your patch doesn't look right to me. ?Shouldn't the code re-fetch the time using gettimeofday each time through the loop, and then add the MEGA_SEC to that? ?As it is, it's wrong because it adds a MEGA_SEC to tvn, so after one MEGA_SEC it will enter a hard loop.
Thank you for your testing! How about the following patch?
To tell the truth, I'm writing a patch without test because I
don't have HP-UX. If this is wrong again, It is really helpful
for you to correct the patch by yourself.

Hi Yusuke,
That code looks better although I'm still getting test/ruby/test_thread.rb blocking indefinitely. I will see if I can attach to the process with a debugger and figure out what it's blocked on.
Thanks,

Endo-san,
Can we close this issue?
Updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh) about 13 years ago
I guess it still reproduces on Solaris.
I have no idea about HP-UX.

Hello,
Now, following two links are dead. Do anyone know new URLs?
Here.

EINVAL
Invalid argument. For cond_init(), type is not a recognized type. For cond_timedwait(), the specified number of seconds, abstime, is greater than current_time + 100,000,000, where current_time is the current time, or the number of nanoseconds is greater than or equal to 1,000,000,000.
The problem that I now focus on is that pthread_cond_timedwait may fail
with EINVAL if an argument is greater than current_time + 100,000,000
on Solaris.
The patch of [ruby-core:29702] is too old and cannot be applied, so
I rewrote and committed a new patch at r32409. Now, "make test" passes
on Solaris. Congrats.
Unfortunately, the original issue that OP reported was a different problem.
But I guess that there is no hope of fixing the issue. At least I cannot.
So I resign the assignee of this ticket. Sorry for late action.

HP-UX is not supported. I'm sorry, but please create a patch that works yourself.
If you provide us the patch and it looks benign to other platforms, we may apply it to trunk.
