Honza - what do you think of the theory that this is being caused by an LSP locally installed? Perhaps the LSP is blocking on a non-blocking socket.

here are three reports that look like that is what is happening:

https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/cd6dc70f-1afc-4596-94b6-8d26c2150404#allthreads
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/77bf1520-1759-437b-a209-885922150401#allthreads
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/9adc4168-b377-4a7c-801d-546d32150402#allthreads

In each case the Winsock LSP list is considerably more complicated than the winsock lsp list that you find in a crash due to something in gecko (e.g the dispatch deadlock). I took all the samples from XP SP3 just because I thought that might make the LSP list more comparable - but it happens on multiple versions of windows.
If you mean the stack:

KiFastSystemCallRet
NtDeviceIoControlFile
WSPBind
WSPAddressToString
WSPConnect
connect
_PR_MD_CONNECT
SocketConnect

then it looks to me like a pure native call (no LSP involved).  Being in bind() sounds like it tries to find a local interface to bind to.  It may be the same cause as in case of the UDP close(), waiting for an ARP or (more likely) a DHCP response - those are more guesses, not supported by any research now.

It could also be an OEM specific code that misbehaves here...  something very hard to find out :(

there is tho 'rsvpsp.dll' in the LSP list.  I don't have that file on my win7 machine.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

This is good to have but I don't think it's gonna much help with the root cause.  The delays/blocks in connect()/close() are IMO happening not just after shutdown.  The thing is that we try to shutdown while the socket thread has already been hanging inside connect()/close() for a while.  Maybe that is even a reason people restart the browser - since pages are not loading, socket thread is deadlocked.

There are two reasons this could happen IMO: A/V software interference or an LSP malware.

Some code that detects the time spent in connect()/close() would be good to have.  At least collect telemetry, like time spent in, how often it happens to spent more than some 2 seconds, does it happen after network change, does it happen after shutdown only, whatever would be useful.

If long delays happen all the time (based on telemetry), we could do a test at the start or after any network change we detect and try to do something like manual local binding or even let connect()/close() happen on new threads (similar to what I've made for UDP close.) and maybe warn the user that "your OS performs slow when doing network access" or something...

I think we should include some window after the change.  Like "has been there a change in the net config in, say, last 60 seconds".  If so, add a 'state-changed' telemetry.  Otherwise, add 'normal-state' telemetry.

Then, I'm not sure change in the 'connectivity yes/no' state is what you want... Maybe check with :badger on this first.  There can be a wire connection, then for awhile both wired and wifi, then wire goes away (and that will not be seen as a change in connectivity..)

Looking at the code I am sure that the connectivity means we have some connection or we do not have any. I will check this with :badger
I want to separate connectivity and offline state which are 2 separate things. Looking at the code connectivity state will change offline state if offline state has not been force for some other reason.

So I want to have:
PRCONNECT_BLOCKING_NORMAL - no shutdown ,now network change no ofline state change
PRCONNECT_BLOCKING_SHUTDOWN - we are in shutdown
PRCONNECT_BLOCKING_NETWORK_CHANGE - connectivity changed
PRCONNECT_BLOCKING_OFFLINE - set offline (this will probably be the same as normal, exept we have some error in necko code)

Rather:

"These timestamps are needed for collecting telemetry on PR_Connect, PR_ConnectContinue and PR_Close blocking time.  On too long time spent in any of these functions we want to know what network change happened shortly before."

BTW, it might be smarter to collect only times that take more then say 1 second?  I am really not sure on this, but I don't want to see a graph of 0 - 0.1 ms -> 99% and then the rest (that we are interested in!) hidden in the 1% percent of all the captures.

I will answer and Honza can correct me.

We currently collecting telemetry to see when it is happening. We assume it is after network connection change or maybe just when there is no connectivity. 

For Honza:
Form telemetry that we have collected so far I see this happening for all cases some times. some are pretty high on windows and on osx but not as high as in windows. I could do a fix to split connect to a separate thread. (I need to look closely into the data to see if we can skip in some cases)

As Dragana says, the only fix here is to either do more investigation like contacting the people this happens to (not a usual way we work in Mozilla tho) or have separate thread(s) handling these function calls.

I think having a thread pool (limited up to like 5 or so threads) is the way here as a general workaround.

I personally believe there is some antivirus or virus (how ironic :)) involved here, but that is more a guess.

damn. those are crazy numbers. Dragana do these numbers look different at the 98th or 99th percentile rather than max? If not, then this is pretty nuts. (If so, even simple things like some kind of massive memory thrashing can explain .0001 outliers which would be irrelevant to us) 

I think it is interesting that the close_blocking_time_normal is so bad cross platform.

Honza, do you think there is any reason to have this done synchronously (to the rest of gecko)? 

can we just implement pr_close at the bottom of the stack to return true without closing anything, but pass the OS fd to a thread that queues them up and closes them as fast as possible. I suggest this rather than a thread pool as a possibility because the thread pool still creates a slow sync point for the outlier cases (though improves HoL blocking).

at least we have a good metric we could track now. Thanks Dragana.

Yep, it would be good to check what is the percentile of blocks taking more than say 4 seconds?  Or any other reasonable number of seconds.

"because the thread pool still creates a slow sync point for the outlier cases" 

I don't follow this argument.  Are you suggesting we have one thread per one close (connect)?  I did the same for udp socket close - no pool, spawn a new thread for any invocation of nsUDPSocket::Close() ending up at PR_Close().  But we use udp more rarely than tcp so to have a tun of threads for each connect we call seems to me like waste of resources.  But I can be persuaded otherwise.  Both solutions are good.  Only problem is that impact of raising number of threads is hard to measure, it's kind of a slow death...

Yep, thanks!

roughly:


1] put a nspr layer where layer->lower == tcp/udp

2] implement pr_close(aFD) {
int fd = GetOsFD(aFD); // I forget what this is really called
aFD->lower->dtor(aFD->lower); // or maybe set fd to -1 and call lower->close()
postmessage(closingThread, fd);
return 0;
}

on closingThread
while(!shutdown) {
recvmessage(&fd);

I should have added this stats too, I was just surprised about max values they are crazy.
so 95% even 99% are only 1ms.
there are 3365 samples that are larger than 1second and 1453 larger than 4s.

Dispatching this to a pull of threads or just separate threads is going to make this worse for everybody else.  I am not sure we should do this.

If we just leak any queued (yet not closed) sockets after shutdown then this is a good solution.  Should also replace my patch for UDP close.

How about connect/cont-connect tho?

so, I'm missing one major stuff here: you are not correctly handling the service lifetime

each layer instance you crate must have its 'secret' set to a struct that has a nsRefPtr<nsClosingService> that refers the service.

here you will pick the refptr from your secret struct and use it instead of gInstance and then just nullify it.  this will make sure the queue and the locks exists.  the code you have may nicely race.

other option is to StaticMutex or StaticMonitor over gInstance

maybe ProcessRequest would be better (if you really want to have a method for this, inlining into ThreadFunc would work well too)

to make nsRefPtr work with this you just need to define AddRef and Release.  There is a macro in nsISupportsImpl.h NS_INLINE_DECL_THREADSAFE_REFCOUNTING for inline declaration of those two for you.  Don't derive from isupports when not needed (which is not in this case)

If we are not on the right layer something is really wrong, but you I right it should be one in the correct order.

We do not want to call PR_Close. PR_Close calls te close function of this layer with is the function that we are in :)
layer->dtor and PR_Free(layer) will end up doing the same thing because the layer is popped up and the stack connections are cut (lower and higher are set to null)

aFd does not have the same value as at the beginning of the function. Call to PR_PopIOLayer has set aFd to the next layer in the chain.
aFd should be true but I have added this check just to be sure.

the only difference between PR_Free and dtor is that dtor cuts connection in the layer chain (sets lower and higher to null), but in this case this does not matter which one we are using.

it is ok because mShutdown is checked before putting a request in the queue.

this fixes compile errors (cause by adding a new file to moz.build that probably caused file to be moved from on unified file to another).

If the code ensures you are on the right level then OK.  But some kind of assertion at least would be at place.

If that is the only difference then I would pref calling dtor here.  It may also release any secret structs PR_Free has no chance to ever release.

Something that's landed on top of the original landing isn't playing well with the backout. So I've had to backout the backout. We were seeing b2g debug shutdown hangs.
This bug is causing performance regression on b2g. We need a forward fix in bug 1204837 with this patch on m-c.

Since this bug is specific to Windows, will the fix be limited to Windows in the next revision? Or we'll still have this on all platforms even neither Linux nor MacOS has this problem?

Sometimes PR_Close blocks for a long time, it is rare but still it happens. The blocking time on Windows are longer than on other (linux, osx) but still long blocking times happens on all os. So we will keep this change for all os.

I moved ClosingService starting/stoping into nsIOService to be sure that it is happening only once.
I think this is not going to solve the crash, but I want to change this.

Honza, may I ask you for a review, please.
Flags: needinfo?(honzab.moz)
So this landed, and broke Linux stuff.
This was reverted, and broke b2g debug stuff.
That revert was then reverted (so back to this landed), so b2g debug stuff is working, but Linux stuff is broken again.


So what's the plan here? We can't leave both Linux stuff or b2g debug stuff broken like this.

dragana is actively working it. no idea why the b2g stuff came to depend on it in 24 hrs.
Flags: needinfo?(mcmanus)
Note: I backed out bug 1152046 (again) locally, since I was insta-crashing with it in.  That lets me run, but testing https://mozilla.github.com/webrtc-landing/pc_test.html crashes in the same place (jemalloc/internal/bitmap.h) when in e10s - but not in a non-e10s profile.  So it's very touchy and machine/perf/allocation/? dependent.

This also implies to me the actual bug is elsewhere (jemalloc?)
I am working on linux problem.

I do not know why b2g is broken. I was check, the files that this patch change has not been changed after this patch had landed.

This patch does not call PR_Close after we enter shutdown, it just cleans up , but does not close socket. b2g is a shutdown hang, maybe we should figure out in any case why it hangs if this patch gets backed out.

Nigel, do you know what has change in b2g, probably something about sockets?

This looks like a shutdown deadlock on the CompositorThread as in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1204837#c14.

Patch bug_1152046_disable_on_ffos.patch only disables use of ClosingService thread on b2g (until bug 1204837). 

I thing there is another bug which is a deadlock and this enabling/disabling ClosingService only exposes it.
Currently all calls to PR_Close are dispatch to a ClosingService thread. and patch bug_1152046_disable_on_ffos.patch disables ClosingService so PR_Close are called on SocketThread (this use to be before  bug_1152046_prclose_v2.patch landed, around 15.September). It is probably a timing issue that this patch exposes another bug. I do not see any other connection between CompositorThread and this bug.
What do you think?

Exactly. Some patch introduced this regression after ClosingService and was hidden. Now it's revealed. I don't think ClosingService has anything to do with the deadlock on mochitest shutdown.

If you are looking for a quick fix, just go with disabling the code specifically per platforms it causes issues on.  We can investigate later what's actually wrong.

Personally I think your service shutdown code and some of my 'concurrent access' concerns might be worth checking on.

I need info you for reviewing patch  bug_1152046_move_CLosingService_start_toioservice.patch


and the issue you have responded got complications: see bug 1207979, 1208019
Flags: needinfo?(honzab.moz)
Please note bug 1204837 lands a fix for ClosingService on b2g so we don't need to disable it on b2g anymore.
Dragana, it wasn't clear what you needed.

I'll review the patch.

I don't follow what you need from me on "the issues".

- according comment 94 it seems we no longer need bug 1208019, right?
- the same may apply to bug 1207979, or not?

Please state more clearly how I can help here.

Yes we do not need them, but there is another bug that I do not want to be missed, because it is going to show up at some point.
Explanation:

Patch  bug_1152046_prclose_v2.patch (the implementation of ClosingService) was pushed on 14.Sep. On the same day couple of hours later they tried to back it out but did not work because of:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1204837#c14

The thing is that a patch from bug 1127270 was pushed on the same day. And if you disable ClosingService or backed it out that patch cause problems and if the ClosingService is used everything is fine. This bug and bug 1127270 do not have anything in common, so I believe there is a bug in patch 1127270 that shows up only if ClosingService is not used.

So we do not need bug 1208019, but I want that someone looks at bug 1127270 (ImageBridgeParent) and finds explanation why is it failing if ClosingService is not used.

"This should never happen."

OTOH, I think it may and having a check like this is good.

Worth adding a similar "only-once" check to the start method?

maybe rather put this to the NS_XPCOM_SHUTDOWN_OBSERVER_ID topic handling code directly?

if there is some reason not to (and have it here rather) please add a comment.

I notice that nsSocketTransportService::Shutdown can be called more than one, it is called for profile change as well, and that is a problem :). (Init is called just once)

I have put it there after SocketTransportService shutdown to let more PR_Close calls get called. Because most of the time they are not causing problem.

I was not planning to uplift the last two patches. Although there was no problem with a patch (since 17th Sep. or so).
Flags: needinfo?(dd.mozilla)
OK, I will mark 42 & 43 as wontfix then. Thanks
I was looking at crash some logs again:
I have not seen any PR_Close hangs.
I have seen PR_Connect hangs even though we check for gIOService->IsShutdown() before trying to connect, so hang there for a long time. 
There is also nsAutodial hang (we also do not try to reconnect in case of Shutdown)
And there are some poll hangs.

A thinks that can have influence on this hangs:
avcuf32.dll
rlls.dll
winhadnt.dll
(but not all have one of these)

win sockets are made nonoblocking using rv = _md_MakeNonblock((HANDLE)osfd); just before calling connect(); 
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/nsprpub/pr/src/md/windows/ntio.c#1160
I could check whether we set nonblocking flag correctly but it is hard to check if it is really set to the os socket.

I have also read some comments people left: there was 2-3 saying that firefox is really slow- I could assume that firefox was slow therefore they tried to shut it down and this crash happened, so probably there already a problem before they clicked shutdown.

Heads up: ntio.c isn't used by our codebase, as NSPR is configured with the WIN95 configuration. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSPR/NSPR_build_instructions#--enable-win32-target.3DWIN95

It looks like the WIN95 configuration does not support this at all.

We do set PR_SockOpt_Nonblocking = true on the socket in nsSocketTransport::InitiateSocket(), but looking into the code how that is handled, I cannot find we actually would set any option directly on the system socket.  Only thing we do is a setup of secret->nonblocking = true flag on our FD at prmapopt.c!_PR_SocketSetSocketOption.  This flag however doesn't lead to any other setting made on the socket (w95sock.c).

Dragana, we could have a private patch for NSPR to copy that particular piece of code from ntio.c to w95sock.c to try.  Submitting that directly to NSPR should not be that hard if found working.
This is short update.

w95sock.c always makes sockets nonblocking:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/nsprpub/pr/src/md/windows/w95sock.c#63

and blocking mode is made inside nspr, so for each read/write it loops if a socket is blocking.

I will dig into this further.

I know, but when we are in shutdown we can just make it fail here.
I notice that we are doing some reads on d socket when we are closing nsHttpConnection:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/netwerk/protocol/http/nsHttpConnection.cpp#599

If we need to reduce amount of operation that we do when we are in shutdown, we can skip this. I have not seen any crash on this, but I am writing it here just to keep it in mind if we need it.
