Dear list,
occasionally (possibly a race condition) our application
crashes with a stack trace like this:
{what}: suspending thread while at least one lock is being
held, stack backtrace: 27 frames:
0x7fddfe5ba98f : ??? + 0x7fddfe5ba98f in
/usr/local/lib/libhpxd.so.1
0x7fddfe5baace : ??? + 0x7fddfe5baace in
/usr/local/lib/libhpxd.so.1
0x7fddfe5b4471 :

0x23 in /usr/local/lib/libhpxd.so.1
0x7fddff17f875 : hpx::util::verify_no_locks() + 0xb3 in
/usr/local/lib/libhpxd.so.1
0x7fddfef4881f :
hpx::this_thread::suspend(hpx::threads::thread_state_enum,
boost::intrusive_ptr<hpx::threads::thread_data> const&,
hpx::util::thread_description const&, hpx::error_code&) +
0x87 in /usr/local/lib/libhpxd.so.1
0x91a1b3 :

hpx::util::thread_description const&, hpx::error_code&) +

0x7fde0024f01f :
CommunicationHandler::expectImage(hpx::naming::id_type) +
0x91 in [...]/build/libhpx_Block.so
What I make out of this, is this:
One of our threads holds a lock, then requests another but
this second one is already locked, so it tries to suspend,
which is not allowed while holding a lock?
However the task CommunicationHandler::expectImage that
yields this error should hold no locks prior to requesting
the spinlock that causes the suspend.
Here are my questions:
Is my interpretation of the occurring events that lead to
this error correct?
For what purpose is it illegal to suspend while holding a
lock?
Is there a way to query the number and or nature of locks
currently held by the executing thread?
Different tasks spawned by (possibly remote) asynchronous
calls may be run in the same hpx worker thread... is it
possible for a threads different tasks to influence each
other regarding something like held locks?
Best regards,
Kilian Werner
