If an interface is added and removed on the same mailoop iteration, ObjectManager would try to send InterfacesAdded signal while running the idler because the interface was added to data->added list. This is easily reproduced by forcing an error path in a plugin registration, like on sap_server_register(), resulting in the following error: ==11795== Invalid read of size 4 ==11795== at 0x496F592: dbus_message_iter_append_basic (dbus-message.c:2598) ==11795== by 0x117B39: append_interface (object.c:554) ==11795== by 0x48955E7: g_slist_foreach (gslist.c:840) ==11795== by 0x11923B: process_changes (object.c:592) ==11795== by 0x11956D: generic_unregister (object.c:980) ==11795== by 0x4973BAC: _dbus_object_tree_unregister_and_unlock (dbus-object-tree.c:516) ==11795== by 0x4965240: dbus_connection_unregister_object_path (dbus-connection.c:5776) ==11795== by 0x1178A5: object_path_unref (object.c:1219) ==11795== by 0x118517: g_dbus_unregister_interface (object.c:1344) ==11795== by 0x19AF5B: sap_exit (sap.c:385) ==11795== by 0x13E9E2: sap_server_register (server.c:1428) ==11795== by 0x13C092: sap_server_probe (manager.c:44) With this patch we don't send the InterfacesAdded signal, removing it from data->added while unregistering. --- gdbus/object.c | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+) diff --git a/gdbus/object.c b/gdbus/object.c index c63a26d..444728c 100644 --- a/gdbus/object.c +++ b/gdbus/object.c @@ -657,6 +657,17 @@ static gboolean remove_interface(struct generic_data *data, const char *name) return TRUE; } + /* + * Interface being removed was just added, on the same mainloop + * iteration?
