Fully reproducible testcase for bug 1149287. 
Tested on win7 laptop, wifi.

1. two accounts defined one imap, one pop
2. no saved passwords, no master password
3. start thunderbird
4. when prompted for the imap password, don't type anything and click OK
5. when prompted for the pop password, click cancel
6. shutdown

TB 31 hangs.  (note: NO hang if pop pwd prompt is given OK and imap is cancelled)

TB 38 and newer crashes after the shutdown hang timer expires. 
Windbg stack attached for TB45 "hang", presumable before the shutdown timer expired.

clarifying with additional variations:
- no failure if a password is typed and OK is clicked, then shutdown
- no failure of incorrect password is typed+OK, then wait for "Login to server xxx failed.", then cancel or retry with success
- fails when incorrect pwd+OK, then "retry", blank out pwd, click OK, shutdown

I did not any combination of multiple accounts all waiting for password, with or with master password, which would cause Thunderbird to hang or crash after long periods of unanswered prompts. (i.e. PRIOR to manual shutdown)

Wayne, 
I tested tb 45 linux 64-bit.

Actually, in one of the crashes, I made a mistake of swapping OK/click to the prompts (I think the first one, which is the one at the bottom?), but TB still crashed in the same manner: after hitting the quit button and then wait for 60 seconds for timeout and
then I see the crash reporter.

Hope this helps.

TIA
Flags: needinfo?(ishikawa)
Experimented with several releases. 7.1.0, 9.0.1 and others hang with progress bar spinning for about a minute after file|exit or X. 
* After ~60 seconds if I shut Thunderbird immediately after clicking on password prompt.  
* After 30 seconds if I let Thunderbird sit a spell before shutting Thunderbird. 

So if toolkit.asyncshutdown.crash_timeout were 61 seconds some crashes would be prevented because the hang would be cleared. Not not a good first choice. Why the hang? 

Dug deep looking for a possible regression. 3.1.18 does not hang. 
TB 3.3a2pre 2011-01-05 hangs 60 sec
TB 3.3a2pre 2011-01-04 no hang (task gone within 5 sec)

There may be more than one factor involved. Is it imap, or pop, or something else.
But perhaps we can suspect one part being bug 613184!

#1 crash for 60.2.1 - 15% of all crashes, now that master password bug 1176399 is fixed in 60.2.1.

I assume this is still highly reproducible per comment 0
Flags: needinfo?(vseerror) → needinfo?(gds)
I'll take a look at comment #0 and comment #14. Perhaps if it's just about cancelling a password loop, it could be an "easy" fix.
Original STR:
1. two accounts defined one imap, one pop
2. no saved passwords, no master password
3. start thunderbird
4. when prompted for the imap password, don't type anything and click OK
5. when prompted for the pop password, click cancel
6. shutdown

I did this simplified version:
1. one IMAP account defined
2. no saved passwords, no master password
3. start thunderbird
4. when prompted for the imap password, don't type anything and click OK
5. shutdown

I tried to start TB again on the same profile, but couldn't can't since it was still hanging in there. After a while, the crash reporter came up and I reported bp-c74f4e7f-78bf-4474-a59e-15d600181008.

Fully reproducible. Patch should be easy, I'll look into it in the next 24 hours unless someone beats me to it.

This implements a shutdown listener and the wait look will exist. Sadly it completes the current wait of one minute (kImapSleepTime = PR_MillisecondsToInterval(60000);), so the profile is still locked for a minute.

Since this patch adds observer per IMAP protocol, I think that it is better to add separated observer class for memory and etc.

And, although I think that AddObserver and RemoveObserver work on main thread only, is nsImapProtocol::Initialize always on main thread?

Thank you.

I don't quite understand. You mean:

class nsImapProtocolObserver: public nsIObserver ...

nsImapProtocol::Initialize() {

  ...
  m_observer = new nsImapProtocolObserver();

Then in the loop:

  !m_observer->GetShutdown();

Why is that preferred?

I'd have to check your "main thread" question.

Back to my question from comment #25: Is there a way to cancel the wait?

Yes, I mean that

StaticRefPtr<nsImapProtocolObserver> sShutdownObserver;
bool sShuttingDown = false;

...

nsImapProtocol::Initialize()
{
  ...
  if (!sShutdownObserver) {
    sShutdownObserver = new nsImapProtocolObserver();
    ...
  }
  ...
}
...

And sShutdownObserver  is set to nullptr when receiving shutdown observe.

ReentrantMonitorAutoEnter.Notify() ?  TellThreadToDie is helper to die UI.  So I guess that when shutting down, we might have to call TellThreadToDie on shutdown observer.

OK, let's give this another round. I tried
  m_passwordReadyMonitor.Notify()
yesterday and that crashed :-( - I don't remember the details now.

Doesn't compile, I picked some bits and pieces from TimelineConsumers.cpp/h.

Attachment #9015474 - Attachment is obsolete: true
Like this? Compiles and links now ;-) I don't think it works though, at least it behaves differently to the first version.

Looks like having a global 'sShuttingDown' caused the link error. However, I think we don't even need that "shutting down" variable now since we could just test 'sShutdownObserver' since the shutdown clears that.
Attachment #9015515 - Flags: feedback?(m_kato)
Actually, no, both versions work equally badly. After the minute has expired, I see:

#07: RtlUserThreadStart[C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll +0x71461]

Or maybe that's because we're still waiting too long and the shutdown still fails on timeout which is the problem we came to solve.
I returned back to the previous approach where the protocol is also the listener. This way we can call NotifyAll() and that indeed ends the wait and gets us to the crash mentioned in comment #34 immediately, which on one hand is a good thing.

Now we have to work out why this crashes with
  MOZ_CRASH("NSS_Shutdown failed");

The comment above says:
// If you're seeing this crash and/or warning, some NSS resources are
// still in use (see bugs 1417680 and 1230312).

So I think this patch does roughly what we need, only that the XPCOM shutdown fails when it comes to shutting down NSS. I have no idea what resources we might still be locking.

Although comment 33 approach is better, if it doesn't work well, you should use comment #35 approach.

Hmm, I guess that nss returns SEC_ERROR_BUSY. Becasue kImapSleepTime is too long??
Attachment #9015577 - Flags: feedback?(m_kato) → feedback+
Thanks. The single observer option (comment #33) can't do this
  ReentrantMonitorAutoEnter mon(m_passwordReadyMonitor);
which seems to be needed to stop the wait.

I have to look into the crash in debug mode. In opt builds, there is no MOZ_CRASH() so the patch here would already "fix" the shutdown crash.

The NSS_Shutdown() in ShutdownXPCOM() returns -1 (SECFailure), that doesn't really tell us why this is failing. Reducing kImapSleepTime from 60000 to 6000 (6 seconds instead of 60) as per comment #36 makes no difference.

Dana, you authored the MOZ_ASSERT() here
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/faa9d965f89e#l1.21

Other than that, the patch does what I want.

In summary, something still appears to be busy, but I don't know what that something is and how to make it not busy.
After looking at this for a while, I think this needs a completely different approach. New patch coming.
Flags: needinfo?(dkeeler)
Looking at this again, the problem is this:

There is a wait loop what waits for a password to arrive asynchronously. One of the tests is/was m_password.IsEmpty(), so if the password is empty, it will keep looping, and cause a shutdown crash when TB is closed.

I think this logic is quite wrong. The problem arises in the user enters no password and simply clicks OK, see comment #0.

So if the user clicks OK and *empty* password *was indeed* entered, no point really to keep looping since the prompt is gone and nothing better will ever arrive.

It makes much more sense to break the loop when a password was entered, empty or not. If it was empty, and of course the authentication fails, the user is prompted again, and they can press cancel.

This seems like a very straight forward fix to a logic error which causes 1000 crashes a day :-(

Thanks for finding the cause for this bug!
I would be happy, if the fix would be back-ported to the current version of TB.

Question:
Given a IMAP Server which regularly temporarily is in dysfunction or doesn't respond. In this case the user is prompted to enter a password in loop. I guess, if the user enters OK with empty password, the correct and before saved password is deleted, so if the IMAP server is responding correctly again, the connection fails due to the deleted password. I think, this is not desirable. Wouldn't it be better, the prompt would warn the user about the consequence acknowledging an empty password with OK?

Another fix could be to cancel the loop from the shutdown handler to avoid the crash.
We intend to backport this once we got feedback from beta users. You will be able to try it in TB 65 beta due for release in early December. Or try a Daily build now (currently suspended, but they'll be back any day now).

The prompt in question is only issued if no password was saved. If a password was saved, you'll get the Retry/Enter new/Cancel prompt. I don't know why any user would OK an empty password, or even worse, click the "Use password manager" box. Surely they should click cancel if they don't want to enter a password.

> Another fix could be to cancel the loop from the shutdown handler to avoid the crash.
I tried that without success. However, as I wrote above, I don't think keeping the wait going if the user clicked OK on an empty password is not the correct approach since it will just loop forever. Why would empty and invalid (say they typed an x) be treated differently?
(In reply to Jorg K (GMT+2) from comment #47)
Hi Jork, thanks for your quick answer.

I fully agree with your point of view.

If in the Retry/Enter new/Cancel prompt the user enters Cancel, I think, it would be reasonable to always double the wait time for the next prompt, so there would leave a chance, that the connection will be established some time later, if the IMAP server responds correctly again.
What you think?

And yet, the crash signature has more than three times the number of installs crashing than the next highest ranked crash signature.  So some perhaps odd user behavior is driving this to significant levels.

I suggest you uplift this for 60.3.1.  The patch is simple, I've tested several variations of password prompting with 64.0b2, and there are no problem reports thus far even though 64.0b2 is out only a few days.

Full disclosure, I request this for the reason above but mainly because we have not definitive crash-stats data 
- this bug/crash sig doesn't have have a crash signature linked to it for beta 64 or 63, but I suspect it is is shutdownhang | nsThread::Shutdown | nsThreadManager::Shutdown
- shutdownhang | nsThread::Shutdown | nsThreadManager::Shutdown doesn't show any signs of improvement

So in this case, unless we wait on beta 2-3 weeks more, I think release channel is the only place we're going to clearly see how effective the patch is.
