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.

}




NULL Pointer reference. Value of %rax remains 0x0 after g_type_instance_get_private called for session. (similar to bugzilla attachment https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=412935 )
We need to check if variable 'priv' of type SoupSessionAsyncPrivate structure is NULL before accessing it's element. Does not look like fixed in upstream.

Comment 9 Ray Strode [halfline] 2011-12-19 23:30:55 UTC
I spent a little time today trying to figure out what's going on here.

This doesn't look like a problem in the clock code but a problem in libsoup.

I believe the trace in comment 0 is missing a frame between frame 0 and 1 thanks to compiler optimizations.  I haven't tried yet to reproduce, but from code inspection that frame is probably something like:

#0.5 got_connection (conn=0x26bdf10, status=200, session=0x2679680):299

which is the last line in the function and it calls do_idle_run_queue.

If that guess is right, then the only way we could be here is from this code in run_queue:
...
     if (soup_connection_get_state (conn) == SOUP_CONNECTION_NEW) {   
         soup_connection_connect_async (conn, got_connection, session);
...

connect_async doesn't call got_connection until a GSource called watch_src setup by the soup_socket_connect_async function is ready.  That source may be an io channel waiting for the socket being used to be ready or an idle source if the socket is already ready.

If priv is NULL when do_idle_run_queue is called, as indicated in this bug report, then that means that session is probably freed memory.  One possible way that session could be freed is from the weather_info_free call in libgweather, which unrefs the session object.

Before doing this it calls soup_session_abort, though, which calls soup_session_cancel_message on whatever pending message lead to soup_connection_connect_async getting called. cancel_message makes sure some input sources are removed, but the watch_src source mentioned earlier isn't one of them.  The async_cancel function seems to do the right thing, but it's only called by cancellables objects, and soup_connection_connect_async passes a NULL cancellable object to soup_socket_connect_async.

Reassigning to libsoup.

Comment 10 Dan Winship 2012-06-27 17:51:42 UTC
Fixed upstream in libsoup 2.32; the patch (http://git.gnome.org/browse/libsoup/commit/?id=a87e5833) applies more-or-less cleanly and doesn't break any of the existing libsoup tests; the additional test added by that patch can't be added to RHEL 6's libsoup because it depends on features that were added later.

Comment 11 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 07:56:16 UTC
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 12 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 23:50:30 UTC
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
