1.9.3 p194 causes the same segv.

The attached patch seems to suppress this segv.

Issue #6344 has been updated by mame (Yusuke E.).

Status changed from Open to Feedback

日本語わかって頂けそうな気がするので日本語で。

残念ながら ppc にはプラットフォームメンテナがいなかったと
思います。
納得できるパッチを頂ければ取り込むにやぶさかではないですが、
このパッチはいかにも workaround という感じで、納得しかねる
感じです。

面倒そうなところなので心苦しいですが、きちんと原因究明して
パッチを頂けたら幸いです。

So first of all, I think the current value “0x10000” is
almost baseless and theoretically this value should be
assigned dynamically. BTW Vit says that this segv happens
also on 2.0.0dev (2012-04-23 trunk 35432)
[x86_64-linux] (note that x86_64-linux) and the above patch
seems to work.

What ticket (or mail) are you talking about?
Please give me a pointer.

The attached patch seems to suppress this segv.

Issue #6344 has been updated by mame (Yusuke E.).

Status changed from Feedback to Assigned
Assignee set to ko1 (Koichi Sasada)

TL;DR :slight_smile:

Assigning this to ko1, as I heard ko1 is planning to change the code so
that the value is dynamically determined.
But I don’t know ko1 can work soon. It might be helpful to elaborate
the mechanism of the issue.

1.9.3 p194 causes the same segv.

The attached patch seems to suppress this segv.

Issue #6344 has been updated by kosaki (Motohiro KOSAKI).

If increasing machine stack, it definitly reduce limit of number of
fibers.
But, of course, RISC need more stack than CISC and 64bit need more stack
than 32bit. then I’m not surprised this patch solved
ppc issue. So, I suspect the best way is,

#if 64BIT
#define FIBER_MACHINE_STACK_ALLOCATION_SIZE (0x20000)
#else
#define FIBER_MACHINE_STACK_ALLOCATION_SIZE (0x10000)
#endif

or likewise. I don’t think dynamic fiber stack feature fit 1.9.3 branch.

1.9.3 p194 causes the same segv.

The attached patch seems to suppress this segv.

Issue #6344 has been updated by kosaki (Motohiro KOSAKI).

I meant, if a patch has negative impact against 32bit x86, I can’t agree
it. You should think 80%+ people are using 32bit x86.

1.9.3 p194 causes the same segv.

The attached patch seems to suppress this segv.

Issue #6344 has been updated by mame (Yusuke E.).

Assignee changed from ko1 (Koichi Sasada) to kosaki (Motohiro KOSAKI)

Hello,

Okay, Kosaki-san, I leave this up to you.
But personally I’m against changing the parameter blindly, without
credible explanation and evidence about the mechanism of the problem.

2012/4/24, kosaki (Motohiro KOSAKI) [email protected]:

If increasing machine stack, it definitly reduce limit of number of fibers.
But, of course, RISC need more stack than CISC and 64bit need more stack
than 32bit. then I’m not surprised this patch solved
ppc issue.

OP said the same issue occurred on x86_64-linux, but I couldn’t
reproduce.
Can you?

1.9.3 p194 causes the same segv.

The attached patch seems to suppress this segv.

Issue #6344 has been updated by mame (Yusuke E.).

Status changed from Feedback to Rejected

After all, increasing the value is not an essential fix, I think.

Again, there is no powerpc maintainer. I’m closing this ticket.
Feel free to reopen or open a new ticket if you can make a patch.

1.9.3 p125, p194 ruby causes SEGV with test_massign.rb on ppc/ppc64.
Short reproducer and backtrace with ruby 1.9.3 p125:

[tasaka@localhost ruby-1.9.3-p125]$ cat rubydev-32581.rb
a,s=[],“aaa”
300.times { a<<s; s=s.succ }
eval <<-END__
GC.stress=true
Fiber.new do
#{ a.join(“,”) },*zzz=1
end.resume
END__
