Deadlock in System.Diagnostics.Tracing.FrameworkEventSource on application startup

masloboev commented 3 months ago

Description

Deadlock in System.Diagnostics.Tracing.FrameworkEventSource on “System.Runtime” event pipe provider initialization. Deadlock occurs when counters are requested on application startup between these two objects: EventListener.EventListenersLock monitor lock and System.Diagnostics.Tracing.FrameworkEventSource type access critical section.

Deadlock description

Thread 1:

Starts construction of type System.Diagnostics.Tracing.FrameworkEventSource and enters FrameworkEventSource type critical section
Calls System.Diagnostics.Tracing.EventSource.Initialize
Takes lock on EventListener.EventListenersLock

This can come from any point that checks FrameworkEventSource.Log.IsEnabled. In the attached dump it is checked for ThreadTransfer event.

Thread 2:

EventPipe session starts with System.Diagnostics.Tracing.EventPipeEventProvider.Callback
Takes a lock on EventListener.EventListenersLock in System.Diagnostics.Tracing.EventSource.SendCommand
Going to ResetCounters in System.Diagnostics.Tracing.CounterGroup.ResetCounters
Gets value of System.Threading.ThreadPool.CompletedWorkItemCount
Forces ThreadPool construction
Checks FrameworkEventSource.Log.IsEnabled

But the type FrameworkEventSource is still not initialized.

Reproduction Steps

Connect EventPipe with enabled "System.Runtime" provider to application on application startup.

Deadlock dump reference: dump

Expected behavior

Event pipe is connected, EventCounters events are sending

Actual behavior

Application hangs, deadlock occured

Configuration

.NET 8.0.524.21615 (dotnet-sdk-8.0.300-win-x64-d1497a0e) OS Windows 10 x64 no, it is not specific to this configuration

Other information

This issue prevents using “System.Runtime” events provider for .NET Core applications moniotring

Solutions: Maybe postpone or pull out from under the lock counters initialization (System.Diagnostics.Tracing.CounterGroup.ResetCounters) is good solution. Another solution is warm up FrameworkEventSource before counters initialization.

I've run into this problem as well. Is there an acceptable workaround?

So far I've tried manually disposing of the System.Runtime trace source in the Main method like this: var sources = EventSource.GetSources(); var runtime = sources.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "System.Runtime"); runtime?.Dispose();

This worked but I don't know if it will have any unintended consequences.

I believe this is fixed by https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/105548. I was able to repro the issue on .NET Sdk 8.0.300, and using a local build of runtime with the PR I could not trigger the deadlock.
