Hi Fabio, no, I opened the test image --headfull and it is blocked in tests:

MCMockPackageInfo(PackageInfo) changeRecordForOverriddenMethod:

with parameter: a MethodReference MCMethodDefinitionTest >> #override

This is invoked from MCMethodDefinition>>tearDown.

It is blocked in this infinite loop:

[file position < (position-1)] "then pick it up from the front" whileTrue: [chunk := file nextChunk].

here file position is 0, and inst. var. readLimit is 0 too... So nextChunk invariably return '' and the position does not advance.

Why is readLimit 0??? The file is TravisCI.changes and I can open and read it normally in the FileList. The problem comes from SourceFiles which already has an incorrect readLimit set to zero (image attached)

It remains to discover how this ever happened, and why only in linux...

Hi Nicolas, Is it possible that this was related to this: http://forum.world.st/Squeak-trunk-updates-fail-td5059208.html

Hi, for quite some times the travis build for linux32x86 times out during the .travis_test.sh phase.

It's very hard for me to build a 32bits vm from 64bits ubuntu (14.xx). So I've tried with a 32bits VM (debian9), changed to opensmalltalk root directory of my working copy, and

export ARCH="linux32x86" export FLAVOR="squeak.cog.spur" export TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR=`pwd` export TRAVIS_OS_NAME=linux ./.travis_build.sh ./.travis_test.sh

The tests effectively seem to block with 100% CPU.

So I performed a few stack dump via kill -USR1, and it seems that tests are stuck in a very long operation, here is one of the samples:

It' like MCMethodDefinitionTest>tearDown never finish (or is very very long) because MCMockPackageInfo(PackageInfo)>overriddenMethods is very very long.

I don't know what is different on linux32x86 VM compared to OSX, but it would be interesting to understand what's going on exactly...

OK, it's more complex (readLimit only refers to available buffer length not file length) and more simple than that...

Just trying with:

../../../products/sqcogspurlinux/lib/squeak/5.0-201711262336/squeak TravisCI.image test.st

letting it run a few minutes and interrupting it, I'm in the infinite loop (nextChunk = ''). That's because the method thinks it is written at position 11319975 (it might differ for you, because I launched the test.st several times) But the read only copy thinks it is already atEnd at position 11320088 So it reads an empty chunk without making progress and will loop infinitely...

I think that (SourceFiles at: 2) was not flushed and the readOnlyCopy is then shorten. This happens only in linux, because only in recent linux we have this problem that opening an already opened file does not take care of pending buffer of already opened file...

We can work around for now by forcing a flush in readOnlyCopy:

StandardFileStream>>readOnlyCopy self flush. ^ self class readOnlyFileNamed: self name.

Having this method in the image lets the tests pass in linux...

Just for the fun, I did a system tracing...

strace ../../../products/sqcogspurlinux/lib/squeak/5.0-201711262336/squeak TravisCI.image test.st > tmp.log 2>tmp.trace Then interrupted and quit the image

It's amazing how many time we stat/open the changes file... grep changes tmp.trace | grep open | wc 3027 15226 511279

sometimes, we open many .changes in a row and the file index keep increasing, like:

lstat64("/media/psf/Home/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/ opensmalltalk-vm/smalltalkCI-master/_builds/2017_12_04_22_07_37/TravisCI.changes", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=10701044, ...}) = 0 open("/media/psf/Home/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/ opensmalltalk-vm/smalltalkCI-master/_builds/2017_12_04_22_07_37/TravisCI.changes", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 206 lstat64("/media/psf/Home/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/ opensmalltalk-vm/smalltalkCI-master/_builds/2017_12_04_22_07_37/TravisCI.changes", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=10701077, ...}) = 0 open("/media/psf/Home/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/ opensmalltalk-vm/smalltalkCI-master/_builds/2017_12_04_22_07_37/TravisCI.changes", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 208 lstat64("/media/psf/Home/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/ opensmalltalk-vm/smalltalkCI-master/_builds/2017_12_04_22_07_37/TravisCI.changes", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=10701103, ...}) = 0 open("/media/psf/Home/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/ opensmalltalk-vm/smalltalkCI-master/_builds/2017_12_04_22_07_37/TravisCI.changes", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 10 lstat64("/media/psf/Home/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/ opensmalltalk-vm/smalltalkCI-master/_builds/2017_12_04_22_07_37/TravisCI.changes", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=10701816, ...}) = 0 open("/media/psf/Home/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/ opensmalltalk-vm/smalltalkCI-master/_builds/2017_12_04_22_07_37/TravisCI.changes", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 12 lstat64("/media/psf/Home/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/ opensmalltalk-vm/smalltalkCI-master/_builds/2017_12_04_22_07_37/TravisCI.changes", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=10701900, ...}) = 0 open("/media/psf/Home/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/ opensmalltalk-vm/smalltalkCI-master/_builds/2017_12_04_22_07_37/TravisCI.changes", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 14

This is the famous case when we can exhaust the maximum number of opened files... I don't remembered if we installed a workaround at image side? But obviously we do not behave so well with respect to external resources...

Then I see patterns where we read .changes a few times every 2ms... like this:

It's not the good way to find the bug, bt it's interesting...

Hi Fabio, no, I opened the test image --headfull and it is blocked in tests:

MCMockPackageInfo(PackageInfo) changeRecordForOverriddenMethod:

with parameter: a MethodReference MCMethodDefinitionTest >> #override

This is invoked from MCMethodDefinition>>tearDown.

It is blocked in this infinite loop:

    [file position < (position-1)]  "then pick it up from the front"
        whileTrue: [chunk := file nextChunk].

here file position is 0, and inst. var. readLimit is 0 too... So nextChunk invariably return '' and the position does not advance.

Why is readLimit 0??? The file is TravisCI.changes and I can open and read it normally in the FileList. The problem comes from SourceFiles which already has an incorrect readLimit set to zero (image attached)

It remains to discover how this ever happened, and why only in linux...

Hi, for quite some times the travis build for linux32x86 times out during the .travis_test.sh phase.

It's very hard for me to build a 32bits vm from 64bits ubuntu (14.xx). So I've tried with a 32bits VM (debian9), changed to opensmalltalk root directory of my working copy, and

export ARCH="linux32x86" export FLAVOR="squeak.cog.spur" export TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR=`pwd` export TRAVIS_OS_NAME=linux ./.travis_build.sh ./.travis_test.sh

The tests effectively seem to block with 100% CPU.

So I performed a few stack dump via kill -USR1, and it seems that tests are stuck in a very long operation, here is one of the samples:

I don't know what is different on linux32x86 VM compared to OSX, but it would be interesting to understand what's going on exactly...

OK, it's more complex (readLimit only refers to available buffer length not file length) and more simple than that...

Just trying with:

../../../products/sqcogspurlinux/lib/squeak/5.0-201711262336/squeak TravisCI.image test.st

letting it run a few minutes and interrupting it, I'm in the infinite loop (nextChunk = ''). That's because the method thinks it is written at position 11319975 (it might differ for you, because I launched the test.st several times) But the read only copy thinks it is already atEnd at position 11320088 So it reads an empty chunk without making progress and will loop infinitely...

Ahem, I don't remember to which substance I was exposed yesterday, those are the wrong figures...

A HeinekenBug? Like a Heisenbug, but more amber. cheers -ben

But the diagnosis is correct/reproducible today:

10483842 is the position where we search for method source 10483729 is the current (file position) and (file atEnd) is true, so we cannot go beyond that... The readOnlyCopy looks like truncated...

Flushing the original before doing a readOnlyCopy is an effective workaround.

I think that (SourceFiles at: 2) was not flushed and the readOnlyCopy is

...

then shorten. This happens only in linux, because only in recent linux we have this problem that opening an already opened file does not take care of pending buffer of already opened file...

We can work around for now by forcing a flush in readOnlyCopy:

StandardFileStream>>readOnlyCopy self flush. ^ self class readOnlyFileNamed: self name.

Having this method in the image lets the tests pass in linux...

Just for the fun, I did a system tracing...

strace ../../../products/sqcogspurlinux/lib/squeak/5.0-201711262336/squeak TravisCI.image test.st > tmp.log 2>tmp.trace Then interrupted and quit the image

It's amazing how many time we stat/open the changes file... grep changes tmp.trace | grep open | wc 3027 15226 511279

sometimes, we open many .changes in a row and the file index keep increasing, like:

lstat64("/media/psf/Home/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/opensmallta lk-vm/smalltalkCI-master/_builds/2017_12_04_22_07_37/TravisCI.changes", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=10701044, ...}) = 0 open("/media/psf/Home/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk- vm/smalltalkCI-master/_builds/2017_12_04_22_07_37/TravisCI.changes", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 206 lstat64("/media/psf/Home/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/opensmallta lk-vm/smalltalkCI-master/_builds/2017_12_04_22_07_37/TravisCI.changes", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=10701077, ...}) = 0 open("/media/psf/Home/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk- vm/smalltalkCI-master/_builds/2017_12_04_22_07_37/TravisCI.changes", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 208 lstat64("/media/psf/Home/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/opensmallta lk-vm/smalltalkCI-master/_builds/2017_12_04_22_07_37/TravisCI.changes", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=10701103, ...}) = 0 open("/media/psf/Home/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk- vm/smalltalkCI-master/_builds/2017_12_04_22_07_37/TravisCI.changes", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 10 lstat64("/media/psf/Home/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/opensmallta lk-vm/smalltalkCI-master/_builds/2017_12_04_22_07_37/TravisCI.changes", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=10701816, ...}) = 0 open("/media/psf/Home/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk- vm/smalltalkCI-master/_builds/2017_12_04_22_07_37/TravisCI.changes", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 12 lstat64("/media/psf/Home/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/opensmallta lk-vm/smalltalkCI-master/_builds/2017_12_04_22_07_37/TravisCI.changes", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=10701900, ...}) = 0 open("/media/psf/Home/Smalltalk/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk- vm/smalltalkCI-master/_builds/2017_12_04_22_07_37/TravisCI.changes", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 14

This is the famous case when we can exhaust the maximum number of opened files... I don't remembered if we installed a workaround at image side? But obviously we do not behave so well with respect to external resources...

Then I see patterns where we read .changes a few times every 2ms... like this:

It looks like we are looping like this during 103 seconds (I let sufficient time before pressing ctrl+alt+.)

It's not the good way to find the bug, bt it's interesting...

Hi Fabio, no, I opened the test image --headfull and it is blocked in tests:

MCMockPackageInfo(PackageInfo) changeRecordForOverriddenMethod:

with parameter: a MethodReference MCMethodDefinitionTest >> #override

This is invoked from MCMethodDefinition>>tearDown.

It is blocked in this infinite loop:

    [file position < (position-1)]  "then pick it up from the front"
        whileTrue: [chunk := file nextChunk].

here file position is 0, and inst. var. readLimit is 0 too... So nextChunk invariably return '' and the position does not advance.

Why is readLimit 0??? The file is TravisCI.changes and I can open and read it normally in the FileList. The problem comes from SourceFiles which already has an incorrect readLimit set to zero (image attached)

It remains to discover how this ever happened, and why only in linux...

Hi Nicolas, Is it possible that this was related to this: http://forum.world.st/Squeak-trunk-updates-fail-td5059208.html

Hi, for quite some times the travis build for linux32x86 times out during the .travis_test.sh phase.

It's very hard for me to build a 32bits vm from 64bits ubuntu (14.xx). So I've tried with a 32bits VM (debian9), changed to opensmalltalk root directory of my working copy, and

export ARCH="linux32x86" export FLAVOR="squeak.cog.spur" export TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR=`pwd` export TRAVIS_OS_NAME=linux ./.travis_build.sh ./.travis_test.sh

The tests effectively seem to block with 100% CPU.

So I performed a few stack dump via kill -USR1, and it seems that tests are stuck in a very long operation, here is one of the samples:

It' like MCMethodDefinitionTest>tearDown never finish (or is very very long) because MCMockPackageInfo(PackageInfo)>overriddenMethods is very very long.

I don't know what is different on linux32x86 VM compared to OSX, but it would be interesting to understand what's going on exactly...

It would just a be a watered down bug that made you vaguely sick afterwards

Since ESUG 2016 in Prague I recommend pils: it helps understanding the VM, or at least let you think so.

Like QM, when you think you understand the VM it is just evidence that you don't understand just how much trouble you’re in..

Ahem, I don't remember to which substance I was exposed yesterday, those are the wrong figures...

A HeinekenBug? Like a Heisenbug, but more amber. cheers -ben

A good pils is hard to beat, although I prefer something a bit hoppier. But local preferences aside, "Bugweiser" is brilliant. I want to buy the Bugweiser T-shirt.

But I'm not sure... Does this mean you're getting better at squashing bugs, or that the bugs are learning to fight back?

Best of all, googling "bugweiser" turns up no hits at all, so Nicolas can take credit for it. And Ben gets the credit (and/or blame?) for provoking the idea.

Normally I would not be concerned with intellectual property rights in a case like this, but when I think of the potential revenues from Bugwieser T-shirts, I think it is important to give credit where credit is due.
