#10405 closed Bug Report - Crash (Fixed)

segfault on SB between b85f5bb and 7b526c4

Description

The mythbackend program segfaults on the slave backend. MB runs ok. The SB complained that the frequency of a channel was out of bounds, but I've not scanned for any channels for a week or so.

I am attaching backend log and debug log.

BT of frontend crash. Looks like a tear-down order problem.

The actual commit that causes the segfault is f5aa5e8. Up and including b6f9e1d mythbackend starts normally.

This problem only affects the slave backend, the MB runs normally, Frontends are not affected.

Any more info I should provide?

No sense making things difficult when it's under the 256KB limit.

comment:4 Changed 12 years ago by Raymond Wagner

What distro are you using? Is this segfault occurring immediately after startup, or any time you try to run mythbackend?

openSuSe 11.4 is the SB that excibits the problem. The MB is on 12.1. The segfault occurs immediately after starting mythbackend, either through the startup script or by calling it directly.

Use deleteLater() when deleting server sockets in ServerPool?.

Use Qt's deleteLater() rather than delete when deleting sockets, so the actual delete is deferred until reached by the event loop. This removes one potential avenue for null referencing causing segfaults on teardown.

See infoneeded reason in #10418.

comment:11 Changed 12 years ago by Yianni Vidalis <yiannividalis@…>

Ok, I think I maybe confused the issue:

Both tickets are now fixed, and both were fixed by the commits you made.

Both problems were occuring on the same pc, but this ticket was affecting the backend part whereas #10418 the frontend (backend was working ok).

Both starting occuring at the commits I mentioned.

I can provide any log you require, but both tickets are fixed now for me, i.e. both frontend and backend start and stop normally on this pc.

Regards,

Yianni.
