I looked into this a bit after it blew up here: http://build.gluster.org/job/rackspace-regression-2GB-triggered/9955/consoleFull Same patch, same test. Building on what you found, I looked at the next stack frame up. (gdb) up #2 0x00007f08a9917e7c in client3_3_fgetxattr_cbk (req=0x7f0890005ebc, iov=0x7f0890005efc, count=1, myframe=0x7f089000570c) at /home/jenkins/root/workspace/rackspace-regression-2GB-triggered/xlators/protocol/client/src/client-rpc-fops.c:1162 It's not just the xattr value that's messed up. It's the whole frame. (gdb) p *frame $6 = {root = 0x36600000000000, parent = 0xadc0de00007f0890, next = 0x27b7000000000de, prev = 0x3000007f08a4, local = 0xac0000000000, this = 0x36600000000000, ret = 0xadc0de00007f0890, ref_count = 222, lock = 41644032, cookie = 0x3000007f08a4, complete = _gf_false, op = 44032, begin = {tv_sec = 15305201858641920, tv_usec = -5926493018029881200}, end = { tv_sec = 178859755513577694, tv_usec = 52776566458532}, None of these fields make sense. There are three '0xdeadc0de' markers within the frame, indicating multiple free/reuse cycles. What's especially weird is that all of these (plus some pointers) are offset by one. My guess would be that the frame itself, or perhaps the entire call stack, was freed earlier as part of a premature STACK_UNWIND. Unfortunately, the "variably sized type" nonsense is getting in the way of further debugging. Nonetheless, the fact that both instances have been related to this particular patch might offer some avenues for investigation. _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
