RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 15 Martin Stransky 2016-01-07 10:59:51 UTC 
Is there any reproduction steps?
Comment 16 Alexander Todorov 2016-01-07 12:08:20 UTC 
Nope, Firefox just crashed randomly while I was browsing. I don't know what caused it.
Comment 17 Marian Csontos 2016-01-27 17:31:01 UTC 
Any chance it is related to video/media?

|mcsontos@deadbeef|17:20|~> firefox --no-remote --new-instance --ProfileManager

Now soon after visiting pages usually with video (like https://www.elastic.co/products/kibana) I get an instant segfault:

DtsCreateShMem:unable to get shmid :13

Comment 18 Marian Csontos 2016-01-28 13:09:52 UTC 
I tried disabling autoplay (set media.autoplay.enabled in about:config to false) and NoScript but still got a failure on the above page.

Thought possible workaround could be installing "Stop Tube HTML5" add on, as installing the add-on I could browse for a little longer, but the crash still occurred, subjectively later.

I am on Lenovo W541 - this has 2 video cards - one built-in Intel and NVidia.
I am wondering if FF is opening a media stream to video device when there is one whether it is playing or not, and it gets confused...

I am on RHEL 7.2 with recent kernel:

Linux deadbeef.usersys.redhat.com 3.10.0-327.4.4.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Dec 17 15:51:24 EST 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

And using the Xorg drivers:

xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-1.0.11-2.el7.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-8.20150615.el7.x86_64

Alexander, what's your HW?

Do you have SElinux enabled? I do and found the following in the logs:

----
time->Thu Jan 28 11:40:48 2016

This was FF used in SElinux sandbox.
This does not map 1:1 to all the crashes I have seen, but could this be the culprit?

selinux-policy-targeted-3.13.1-60.el7.noarch

I wonder whether the "exit=-13" here:

    type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1453977648.055:29480): arch=c000003e syscall=2 success=no exit=-13 

is the same 13 as seen on console:

    DtsCreateShMem:unable to get shmid :13

May be we are up to something...

/me is rebooting to a newer kernel...

Hi Marian,
I'm on a MacBook Air 13", early 2015 model. I have latest RHEL 7.2 updated. 

This was a random FF crash so I have no idea what really caused it and can't reproduce. Opening the above website works for me and I can play the vimeo video. Also IIRC I've opted for HTML5 on YouTube as well. I have SELinux in Enforcing mode. I believe the Xorg driver is Intel. 

Here's what I have installed and some HW specs:

[atodorov@aero ~]$ uname -r
3.10.0-327.4.5.el7.x86_64
firefox-38.6.0-1.el7_2.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-8.20150615.el7.x86_64

Detailed hardware listings can be found here:
http://atodorov.org/blog/2015/04/26/installing-red-hat-enterprise-linux-7-on-macbook-air-2015/


I've installed all -debuginfo packages for FF and I'll try to resubmit the backtrace with more details if I still keep it locally.
Comment 20 Marian Csontos 2016-01-28 15:28:41 UTC 
For now after reboot not reproducible.

I have two monitors, and I am frequently docking/undocking and suspending/resuming the notebook, so let's see how long it will last...
Comment 21 Martin Stransky 2016-02-26 14:33:39 UTC 
That should be fixed by update to ESR45 which contains a fix for that. Let's wait until ESR45 is out and then retest.
Comment 22 Martin Stransky 2018-01-17 09:49:12 UTC 
Should be fixed now.
