取消pthread_cond_wait()会挂起PRIO_INHERIT互斥锁

我在pthread_cond_wait中取消线程时出现问题,该线程使用设置了PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT属性的互斥锁。这只发生在某些平台上。

以下最小示例演示了这一点:(使用g++ <filename>.cpp -lpthread编译)

#include <pthread.h>
#include <iostream>

pthread_mutex_t mutex;
pthread_cond_t cond;

void clean(void *arg) {
    std::cout << "clean: Unlocking mutex..." << std::endl;
    pthread_mutex_unlock((pthread_mutex_t*)arg);
    std::cout << "clean: Mutex unlocked..." << std::endl;
}

void *threadFunc(void *arg) {
    int ret = 0;
    pthread_mutexattr_t mutexAttr;
    ret = pthread_mutexattr_init(&mutexAttr); std::cout << "ret = " << ret << std::endl;

    //Comment out the following line, and everything works
    ret = pthread_mutexattr_setprotocol(&mutexAttr, PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT); std::cout << "ret = " << ret << std::endl;

    ret = pthread_mutex_init(&mutex, &mutexAttr); std::cout << "ret = " << ret << std::endl;
    ret = pthread_cond_init(&cond, 0); std::cout << "ret = " << ret << std::endl;

    std::cout << "threadFunc: Init done, entering wait..." << std::endl;

    pthread_cleanup_push(clean, (void *) &mutex);
    ret = pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex); std::cout << "ret = " << ret << std::endl;
    while(1) {
        ret = pthread_cond_wait(&cond, &mutex); std::cout << "ret = " << ret << std::endl;
    }
    pthread_cleanup_pop(1);

    return 0;
}

int main() {
    pthread_t thread;
    int ret = 0;
    ret = pthread_create(&thread, 0, threadFunc, 0); std::cout << "ret = " << ret << std::endl;

    std::cout << "main: Thread created, waiting a bit..." << std::endl;
    sleep(2);

    std::cout << "main: Cancelling threadFunc..." << std::endl;
    ret = pthread_cancel(thread); std::cout << "ret = " << ret << std::endl;

    std::cout << "main: Joining threadFunc..." << std::endl;
    ret = pthread_join(thread, NULL); std::cout << "ret = " << ret << std::endl;

    std::cout << "main: Joined threadFunc, done!" << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

每次运行时,main()都会挂起pthread_join()。 gdb回溯显示以下内容:

Thread 2 (Thread 0xb7d15b70 (LWP 257)):

如果未在互斥锁上设置PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT,则一切正常,程序将完全退出。

有问题的平台:

  • 嵌入式AMD Fusion板,运行基于PTXDist的32位Linux 3.2.9-rt16(带RTpatch 16)。我们正在使用最新的OSELAS i686交叉工具链(2011.11.1),使用gcc 4.6.2,glibc 2.14.1,binutils 2.21.1a,内核2.6.39。
  • 与2011.03.1工具链相同的板(gcc 4.5.2 / glibc 2.13 / binutils 2.18 / kernel 2.6.36)。

没有问题的平台:

  • 我们自己的ARM板,也运行PTXDist Linux(32位2.6.29.6-rt23),使用OSELAS arm-v4t交叉工具链(1.99.3)和gcc 4.3.2 / glibc 2.8 / binutils 2.18 / kernel 2.6.27。
  • 我的笔记本电脑(Intel Core i7),运行64位Ubuntu 11.04(虚拟化/内核2.6.38.15-通用),gcc 4.5.2 / eglibc 2.13-0ubuntu13.1 / binutils 2.21.0.20110327。

我一直在网上寻找解决方案,并且遇到了一些我尝试过的补丁,但没有任何影响:

我们在代码中做错了什么,恰好在某些平台上运行,或者这是底层系统中的错误?如果有人知道在哪里看,或知道任何补丁或类似的尝试,我会很高兴听到它。

谢谢!

这由libc patch修正。 我已经确认它可以在我自己的问题平台(我们的自定义AMD Fusion板)上工作,修补到glibc-2.14.1。
