Description

While using babeltrace 2.0.3 with lttng-live (latest lttng version) we encountered the following assert:

(gdb) bt

I did initial prints in gdb to see that this is not some kind of obvious memory corruption:

(gdb) p stream_iter->trace
$1 = (struct lttng_live_trace *) 0x4721a0
(gdb) p stream_iter->trace->clock_class
$2 = (const bt_clock_class *) 0x0
(gdb) p stream_iter->trace[0]
$3 = {log_level = BT_LOGGING_LEVEL_WARNING, self_comp = 0x43c050, session = 0x471d70, id = 1, trace = 0x66fc30,
  trace_class = 0x66bef0, metadata = 0x66bb00, clock_class = 0x0, stream_iterators = 0x442d20,
  metadata_stream_state = LTTNG_LIVE_METADATA_STREAM_STATE_NOT_NEEDED}
(gdb) p stream_iter->trace->trace_class
$4 = (bt_trace_class *) 0x66bef0
(gdb) p stream_iter->trace->trace_class->stream_classes
$5 = (GPtrArray *) 0x43a4a0
(gdb) p stream_iter->trace->trace_class->stream_classes->len
$6 = 0

Unfortunately I can't attach the coredump here but I can provide any relevant information from it.

Hi,

Is there any error messages on lttng-relayd or lttng-sessiond side?

Could you provide us with a bit more context on how the tracing session is configured?

Is "lttng clear" used?

Cheers

No other error messages.

babeltrace2 crashed several times until our monitoring script detected it and restarted the whole chain of lttng-sessiond/relayd/babeltrace2.

We're using LTTNG framework for continuous low-latency tracing, i.e. our service constantly emits traces which are then processed live
by our babeltrace2 plugin.

The session is created with these commands:

lttng create XXX --live
lttng enable-channel channel0 -u -s XXX --subbuf-size 1M --num-subbuf 8 --overwrite --tracefile-size 104857600 --tracefile-count 3
lttng enable-event 'XXX_*' -u -s XXX -c channel0
lttng add-context -u -t vpid -t vtid -s XXX -c channel0
lttng start XXX

relayd runs with this command:

lttng-relayd --output /var/log/lttng-XXX/live

babeltrace2 runs with:

babeltrace2 lttng-live net://localhost/host/DIRECTORY/XXX --component XXX:sink.XXX.view --log-level WARN

Do you see any pattern for when the error occurs? (i.e tracing is ok for over 2 hours etc, only happens on hooking babeltrace2 and happens 1 time in a 100 etc.)

That could help us pinpoint the problem.

No pattern, the error happened only once.

In the interest of reproducing your overall setup, can you give us some rough indication of the throughput of the application(s) being traced?

Are the network links between the consumer and relay daemons, or between the relay daemon and viewer severely congested/throttled?

Can you reproduce these crashes with the (default) text sink?

Actions #6

Updated by Sergei Dyshel over 2 years ago

I couldn't reproduce the crash in many runs. Seems one-off issue.

What kind of throughput would you want me to measure? The application produces (usually) no more than 25MB of trace messages per hour.
