tests/jfill failure

[dkoreshkov]

Hello! I added a call to srandom(time(NULL)) into sim_reset and ran "while tests/jfill.test; do :; done" After a while: jfill.test: tests/jtutil.c:61: jt_check: Assertion `root_offset < raw_size' failed.

At the time of the failure root is before tail: root 862, tail 864, head 872 It seems that the error recovery in journal_enqueue sometimes leaves a largish gap between root and head, so that journal_peek/dequeue get confused.

Oh, here is another one, takes longer to reproduce: map.test: tests/map.c:68: check_recurse: Assertion `offset < p_offset' failed.

offset is -1

Well, the crash in map.test goes away when doing journal_dequeue in map_sync only if raw_gc was successful...

Hi Denis,

That's an excellent idea for a test. I've reproduced it here iterating through explicit seeds from 0 up. I'll have a look at what's happening and get back to you within the next few days.

Once that's sorted I'll have a look at your other issue and proposed fix.

Cheers, Daniel

That's definitely a bug! Fixed in commit a1c3e462138db1da2dc487443d366049409fac18.

Hi Denis,

Just pushed a fix in commit 6cc57366448ff5dd9b7e370843fc693f22605b64.

There are more details in the commit message, but this issue shouldn't have been causing any problems in practice. I've altered the behaviour of the journal so that the invariant of a valid root pointer is not violated anyway.

Cheers, Daniel

Many thanks for your replies, Daniel!

It seems the last fix could be simpler--clear the root just before incrementing the tail: if (j->tail == j->root) j->root = DHARA_PAGE_NONE; j->tail = next_upage(j, j->tail);

Ah -- yes that probably would have been a bit nicer.
