Description

I stumbled upon loss of messages with exceptions or even Segmentation fault during transfer of exception from Ractor when moving the exception. In versions 3.0 and 3.1 I saw only loss of messages, in 3.2 also Segmentation fault. Loss of messages happens only when using Ractor.select (not Ractor#take), but segmentation fault happens also using Ractor#take.

100.times do
  ractor_count = 10

  ractors = Array.new(ractor_count) do |i|
    Ractor.new do
      begin
        raise 'foo'
      rescue => e
        # It is not possible to move exception without duplicating, but also
        # without it showing bactrace errors in 3.0 and is empty in 3.1+
        e = Marshal.load(Marshal.dump(e))
        Ractor.yield e, move: true
      end
      'message got lost'
    end
  end

  ractor_count.times do
    ractor, result = Ractor.select(*ractors)
    p result
    ractors.delete(ractor)
  end
end

In 3.0 and 3.1 will contain mix of #<RuntimeError: foo> and "message got lost", in 3.2 may contain both and cause Segmentation fault. Excerpt of output (full output attached) from container running ruby:3.2 (ruby 3.2.2 (2023-03-30 revision e51014f9c0) [x86_64-linux]):

Updated by luke-gru (Luke Gruber) about 1 year ago

I'm not in front of a machine that runs ruby right now, but I don't think this has to do with ractors. I was trying things out in the ruby playground and managed to crash ruby with this as well:

100.times do |j|
  ractor_count = 10

  ractors = Array.new(ractor_count) do |i|
    Proc.new do
      begin
        raise 'foo'
      rescue => e
        err = Marshal.load(Marshal.dump(e))
      end
      #e
    end
  end

  ractors.each(&:call)
end

It looks like it's something related to Marshal.

I wasn't able to reproduce segmentation fault, but even if segmentation fault is caused by Marshal, it doesn't explain lost messages (when Ractor.select returns a ractor and "message got lost").
