MapViewOfFileEx errors disappeared with cygwin1-20040716 snapshot

MapViewOfFileEx errors disappeared with cygwin1-20040716 snapshot

[Dr. Volker Zell]

Hi Chris

I just want to note that all of my MapViewOfFileEx errors which I saw
with a lot of my gnome1 apps dissapeared after installing the latest
snapshot.

It must be this change:

2004-07-16  Christopher Faylor  <cgf@timesys.com>

	* pinfo.cc (pinfo::init): Guard against MapViewOfFileEx failure.



Thanks a lot

Ciao
  Volker

No, that would not change anything.  I just added a fatal error message.

The fix must lie elsewhere.

You are right. I just checked my XWin.log and it again said

 MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support

also ipcs gives me

 Bad system call

I start my cygserver as a service and a process listing shows that it's
still running, hmmmmmmm.....

When I start cygserver after a reboot from a bash shell I get the
following (cygwin1.dll and cygserver both from the Jul 17 snapshot):

12:19 PM [505]> cygserver --version
cygserver: (cygwin) 1.10

assertion "!_hThread" failed: file "/netrel/src/cygwin-snapshot-20040717-1/winsup/cygserver/threaded_queue.cc", line 321

The only good thing, my gnome apps doesn't show the MapViewOfFileEx failure.

Reverting cygwin1.dll and cygserver back to 1.5.10-3, cygserver works
just fine, but now my gnome apps show again the MapViewOfFileEx failure

That's not the fatal error message that I was talking about.

Does the latest snapshot work any better?

Corinna and I noticed some strangeness with cygserver earlier this year
when it was compiled with gcc 3.3.2.  She reminded me of this problem
earlier today.  I had previously reverted my main system to gcc 3.3.1 a
but neglected to revert one of the other systems that I use for building
snapshots via distcc.  So, it was pure chance as to whether cygserver
was compiled with gcc 3.3.2 or gcc 3.3.1.

Now all three of the systems that I use to build snapshots should be in
sync, so I'm hoping your cygserver problem is now gone.

You're talking about two different problems here.  The "Bad system call"
is a result of either not having $CYGWIN set to contain the word "server",
or a result of Cygserver not running.

The failing assertion in Cygserver seems to be a problem of compiling
Cygserver with a g++ version which has some weird bug.  The latest
snapshot still has that problem, apparently.  I've just created a new
snapshot, which contains a Cygserver which should work fine.  At least
I tried it and it runs w/o assertion *and* I don't see the above
"MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support" message with
that Cygserver.

I just checked with cygwin-20040720 and indeed cygserver runs fine again.

Well my MapViewOfFileEx errors are still there, but that seems to be a
different problem.

I tried to reproduce that problem with my shm test application which
forks twice, but to no avail.

A simple testcase(tm) would be helpful.

Corinna,

FWIW, I just saw this error for the first time with the above snapshot
(Win2k SP3).  The command that triggered it was a "cvs diff" run from vim
(":!cvs diff"), if it makes any difference.  No idea what caused it, since
all of the subsequent invocations of the exact same command (from the same
vim session) succeeded.  I've been unable to reproduce it since, so this
is just a quick confirmation that it's not only Volker's environment.

It makes a difference.  FWIW, Volker's message is printed from a function
which only runs in case a process is using XSI shared memory and forks.
cvs doesn't use XSI shared memory so the message you saw is very likely
emitted by open_shared.

Actually, this is what's weird.  The messages from open_shared() and
fixup_shms_after_fork() are subtly different, and I don't recall the name
of the shared region (or, for that matter, anything in single quotes)
being printed, so I guess the message came from fixup_shms_after_fork().
I've since tried to reproduce it under strace, and failed.  The three
times I saw the message, one was from inside cvs.exe, and two were from
inside ssh.exe, if that helps any.  The next time I get this error, I'll
copy/paste the exact message and the exact sequence of actions that led to
it.  Please let me know what else I can do to help track this down.

None of these apps use XSI shared memory.  In theory that only can happen
if sph_list is not all zero in a forked application.  But that should only
happen if the parent used XSI shared memory...

Do you have Cygserver running?  If yes, does that also happen if it
doesn't run or CYGWIN != "server"?

Nope, I don't have cygserver running.  My $CYGWIN is "check_case:strict
ntsec notitle binmode nosmbntsec notty".  If you want to put some more
debugging info in all the places the above message can appear, I'll use
the new snapshot and if I trip the error again, I'll post the output.

Ok, I tripped the error again.  Here it is, in all of its pristine glory:

c:\cygwin\bin\vim.exe (2568): *** MapViewOfFileEx failed, Win32 error 6

Weirdly enough, I did not find this exact message anywhere in the sources
(there's only one occurrence of "MapViewOfFileEx failed" in the current
CVS, and it has other things in the message).  If anyone has any ideas
on where it's coming from, I'd appreciate a pointer.
HTH,
	Igor

Never mind.  I spoke too soon, and my "current CVS" turned out to be not
all that current.  The message above comes from pinfo.cc, line 197.

<CYGWIN-TECHNICAL-STUFF>
  Would it work if I built my own DLL, with debugging, and inserted a
  "try_to_debug()" call before the api_fatal()?  Frankly, I've never had
  much luck getting gdb to start from the "error_start" setting in
  $CYGWIN, but I'll see if I can get this to work unless the above info
  helps someone track this down sooner.

  I beg to differ:

  Oops.  Teach me to deal with mail in the order it arrives!

  Dunno exactly.  However, my suggestion is that the most useful diagnostic
at that point would be a print out of the address parameter passed to the
MVOFx function and the name of the .dll that is occupying that area, or
perhaps just an entire module list.

It's a new error in pinfo.cc line 195 in current (as of this writing) CVS
sources.

Hey, that's *very* different!  Note the use of the word "with" in mmap.cc.

  I note that you subtly snipped out the statement with which I was begging
to differ:

  Now, where did I leave that trollometer?

I added some additional logic around this error to try to avoid issuing
it if the process is exiting.  I was thinking that maybe this was a
multi-thread problem but, AFAICT, the only time that this should be
accessed from a multi-thread context in CVS is when a process exits.

Thanks.  I'll see if I get the errors again with the new DLL.

FWIW, I'm just grasping at straws.  I can't convince myself that this would
even be a problem at exit.
