Hi, I'd like to report a tsan warning about a data race in the h264 decoder.
1. Steps to reproduce: ./configure --samples=~/fate-suite/ --toolchain=clang-tsan --disable-stripping make fate-h264 THREADS=4 2. Here is an excerpt of the tsan warning in tests/data/fate/h264-conformance-ba1_ft_c.err: WARNING: ThreadSanitizer: data race (pid=31070) Write of size 8 at 0x7bbc000082a8 by thread T1 (mutexes: write M1628): #0 memcpy /work/release-test/final/llvm.src/projects/compiler-rt/lib/tsan/../sanitizer_common/sanitizer_common_interceptors.inc:655:5 (ffmpeg+0x10de9d) #1 h264_initialise_ref_list home/wtc/tmp/ffmpeg/libavcodec/h264_refs.c:214:29 (ffmpeg+0x1186b3f) #2 ff_h264_build_ref_list home/wtc/tmp/ffmpeg/libavcodec/h264_refs.c:306 (ffmpeg+0x1186b3f) #3 h264_slice_init home/wtc/tmp/ffmpeg/libavcodec/h264_slice.c:1900:11 (ffmpeg+0x1191149) #4 ff_h264_queue_decode_slice home/wtc/tmp/ffmpeg/libavcodec/h264_slice.c:2129 (ffmpeg+0x1191149) #5 decode_nal_units home/wtc/tmp/ffmpeg/libavcodec/h264dec.c:675:24 (ffmpeg+0x7924ec) #6 h264_decode_frame home/wtc/tmp/ffmpeg/libavcodec/h264dec.c:1006 (ffmpeg+0x7924ec) #7 frame_worker_thread home/wtc/tmp/ffmpeg/libavcodec/pthread_frame.c:201:21 (ffmpeg+0xae56dc) Previous read of size 8 at 0x7bbc000082a8 by main thread (mutexes: write M1630): #0 memcpy /work/release-test/final/llvm.src/projects/compiler-rt/lib/tsan/../sanitizer_common/sanitizer_common_interceptors.inc:655:5 (ffmpeg+0x10de9d) #1 ff_h264_update_thread_context home/wtc/tmp/ffmpeg/libavcodec/h264_slice.c:411:5 (ffmpeg+0x118b7dc) #2 update_context_from_thread home/wtc/tmp/ffmpeg/libavcodec/pthread_frame.c:315:19 (ffmpeg+0xae4302) #3 submit_packet home/wtc/tmp/ffmpeg/libavcodec/pthread_frame.c:418:15 (ffmpeg+0xae3783) #4 ff_thread_decode_frame home/wtc/tmp/ffmpeg/libavcodec/pthread_frame.c:495 (ffmpeg+0xae3783) #5 decode_simple_internal home/wtc/tmp/ffmpeg/libavcodec/decode.c:415:15 (ffmpeg+0x665ae4) #6 decode_simple_receive_frame home/wtc/tmp/ffmpeg/libavcodec/decode.c:620 (ffmpeg+0x665ae4) #7 decode_receive_frame_internal home/wtc/tmp/ffmpeg/libavcodec/decode.c:638 (ffmpeg+0x665ae4) #8 avcodec_send_packet home/wtc/tmp/ffmpeg/libavcodec/decode.c:678:15 (ffmpeg+0x665017) #9 decode home/wtc/tmp/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c:2265:15 (ffmpeg+0x1a748e) #10 decode_video home/wtc/tmp/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c:2409 (ffmpeg+0x1a748e) #11 process_input_packet home/wtc/tmp/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c:2644 (ffmpeg+0x1a748e) #12 process_input home/wtc/tmp/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c:4432:5 (ffmpeg+0x1a2e69) #13 transcode_step home/wtc/tmp/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c:4543 (ffmpeg+0x1a2e69) #14 transcode home/wtc/tmp/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c:4597 (ffmpeg+0x1a2e69) #15 main home/wtc/tmp/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c:4803:9 (ffmpeg+0x19daef) 3. The relevant source code is: libavcodec/h264_refs.c: 135 static void h264_initialise_ref_list(H264Context *h, H264SliceContext *sl) 136 { ... 213 for (i = 0; i < sl->list_count; i++) 214 h->default_ref[i] = sl->ref_list[i][0]; 215 } libavcodec/h264_slice.c: 288 int ff_h264_update_thread_context(AVCodecContext *dst, 289 const AVCodecContext *src) 290 { ... 409 memcpy(&h->poc, &h1->poc, sizeof(h->poc)); 410 411 memcpy(h->default_ref, h1->default_ref, sizeof(h->default_ref)); 412 memcpy(h->short_ref, h1->short_ref, sizeof(h->short_ref)); 413 memcpy(h->long_ref, h1->long_ref, sizeof(h->long_ref)); 414 memcpy(h->delayed_pic, h1->delayed_pic, sizeof(h->delayed_pic)); 415 memcpy(h->last_pocs, h1->last_pocs, sizeof(h->last_pocs)); 4. I can eliminate the tsan warning by deleting line 411 in libavcodec/h264_slice.c, but I don't know if that is the correct fix. diff --git a/libavcodec/h264_slice.c b/libavcodec/h264_slice.c index 6deb08fe6d..2fb89b189d 100644 --- a/libavcodec/h264_slice.c +++ b/libavcodec/h264_slice.c @@ -408,7 +408,6 @@ int ff_h264_update_thread_context(AVCodecContext *dst, memcpy(&h->poc, &h1->poc, sizeof(h->poc)); - memcpy(h->default_ref, h1->default_ref, sizeof(h->default_ref)); memcpy(h->short_ref, h1->short_ref, sizeof(h->short_ref)); memcpy(h->long_ref, h1->long_ref, sizeof(h->long_ref)); memcpy(h->delayed_pic, h1->delayed_pic, sizeof(h->delayed_pic)); Wan-Teh Chang _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
