bug#67132: [Shepherd] Bogus value from PID file can prevent service from being stopped
Hi, ‘terminate-process’ in (shepherd service) assumes that, once it has sent SIGKILL to a given PID, it eventually gets a SIGCHLD notification for that PID. Unfortunately there are corner cases where it doesn’t hold. Take PID 2: --8<---cut here---start->8--- $ ps x 2 PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 2 ?S 0:00 [kthreadd] --8<---cut here---end--->8--- That’s not a “real” process, so when you (kill 2 SIGKILL), nothing happens. Thus, ‘terminate-process’ never returns; the corresponding service stays in “stopping” state and you cannot halt your machine. You may wonder how we end up calling ‘terminate-process’ with a “bogus” PID. It normally never happens, but it can happen with a combination of ‘make-forkexec-constructor’ with #:pid-file and ‘least-authority-wrapper’: the PID file of the wrapper may read “2” (the PID inside the least-authority PID namespace), so ‘herd stop’ on that service will end up doing (kill 2 SIGKILL). Ludo’.
bug#67130: Liferea/glib crash
This happened after wakeup under seemingly high (IO) load when I clicked on a link. The window just disappeared. I had dmesg --follow already open and this showed up: [ 6158.088405] traps: WatchDogQueue[4000] trap int3 ip:7fd2425409cf sp:7fd1dd7fb620 error:0 in libglib-2.0.so.0.7200.3[7fd242504000+88000] liferea: /gnu/store/pbwp8fjiwy727hq6aafzwyvig57s9zmk-liferea-1.13.4 glib: /gnu/store/znx6vjadh4az7fzxz7x649ki9qzqnjp3-glib-2.72.3 guix describe output: Generation 223 Nov 02 2023 08:58:48(current) guix f534609 repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git branch: master commit: f5346094f0365a2c04ca00111ff06e17dac832e2 raingloom b528a4a repository URL: https://git.sr.ht/~raingloom/guix-packages branch: master commit: b528a4a906011efb52bc4db916408c5f12f387ec guix-science 25ce86c repository URL: https://github.com/guix-science/guix-science.git branch: master commit: 25ce86cd74f38d7c17d1d90a8271758959702f43 nonguix e14c0e2 repository URL: https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix.git branch: master commit: e14c0e2184e01709472658b7a73e7c9e2461dce2
