Solved: Squatter core dump

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, I've found that upgrading to Cyrus 3.4.1, squatter works fine on my cloned imap base!
Not only it doesn't segfault, but also those cyrus.squat files of more than 2GB have been reindexed into a file of 175MB!
I think that my 2.5.11 version was bugged, and when the bug happened, it went mad and created a huge file until segfault.
 
Now I will do more tests and check again the xapian backend.
 
One question.
This version of squatter misses the "-s" option, so I have no way to tell it to not consider unchanged mailboxes.
This is important on my ZFS based servers, where rewriting the entire cyrus.squat when nothing has changed will cause a useless lot of space used by zfs snapshots.
Why is this "-s" option now available only on master branch?
 
Thanks a lot,
Gabriele

Yes, but unfortunately I didn't find time to do more than that. The log pretty much confirms that there's memory corruption, with invalid reads and writes all over the place.
 
This line looks like a potential start to debug:
 
==17293==  Address 0xff28149a0 is 0 bytes inside a block of size 2,056 free'd
==17293==    at 0xFFFF64A29: free (vg_replace_malloc.c:549)
==17293==    by 0x407A28: write_trie_word_data (squat_build.c:1364)
 
(interestingly, in my code the free happens at line 1363).
 
As a very crude attempt, you could just comment out this free() call. It will leak memory, but if that omits the segfault then we have narrowed down what's causing the corruption.

Hight, did you have any chance to check the valgrind log I've sent?

Never did, it's our illumos distro, but I may have valgrind.
Can you help on this?
 
Just running "valgrind --leak-check=full <path-to-squatter> <your-args>" should do the trick.
 
Cheers,
Robert
