Subject: caget very rarely core dumps in osdThread.c

As part of tracking down failures elsewhere, we ran into some core dumps of caget from EPICS base version R3-14-10 on linux.  These were caget’s for different PV’s and at different points in time.

Apr 27 07:46 core.21238 - caget GTW4:MEM:CHK

Apr 27 13:54 core.25030 - caget MCCELOG:MEM:CHK

Apr 30 14:30 core.26546 - caget PROD03:MEM:CHK

May  3 13:27 core.12026 - caget DAEMON4:DISK:CHK

May  5 13:20 core.4340 - caget PROD01:PROC:CHK

 

We do have symbols and all the core files point here

(gdb) bt

#0  0x0098f9b1 in createImplicit () at ../../../src/libCom/osi/os/posix/osdThread.c:466

#1  0x00990064 in epicsThreadGetIdSelf () at ../../../src/libCom/osi/os/posix/osdThread.c:618

#2  0x009828b2 in cantProceed (msg=0x9a0a8c "start_routine") at ../../../src/libCom/misc/cantProceed.c:63

#3  0x0098f2a6 in start_routine (arg=0xb7d00598) at ../../../src/libCom/osi/os/posix/osdThread.c:309

#4  0x007423cc in start_thread () from /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0

#5  0x005a9f0e in clone () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6

 

 

The method createImplicit  has not changed from R3-14-10 to R3-14-12.  This is the appropriate line of code.

 

        pthreadInfo->osiPriority =

                 (param.sched_priority - pcommonAttr->minPriority) * 100.0 /

                    (pcommonAttr->maxPriority - pcommonAttr->minPriority + 1);

 

 

Is there anything more we can do to figure out the root cause?

 

Regards,

Murali
