Darin, any hope for 1.3?  We're supposed to be done with it (or at least have it
on a branch) by now.

Summary: topcrash @nsSocketTransportService::RememberHost → M130B Trunk crash [@ 0x00000000 - PL_DHashTableOperate] (really in nsSocketTransportService::RememberHost)
*** Bug 192744 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I couldn't duplicate this bug based on "user comments" from talkback report. I
tried naral.org, zapo.net, opening groupmarks, marking mail msgs as junk etc. 
:(
suresh: right, me either.  there's something really screwy going on here.
For the record, I've been trying to reproduce this as well...with no luck.  I'll
keep an eye out for more user comments/urls to try.
Hello,

I was the reporter for bug 192744 which was marked as a duplicate of this bug. I
could reproduce this bug :

opened groupmarks with usual account -> crash

Cleaned profile (deleted *.rdf files, xul.mfl, chrome folder, Cache folder,
*.dat files), repeated operation : another crash

Created new profile, imported bookmarks, clicked on the same groupmark -> no crash

added user.js customizations from old profile into new profile -> no crash

directly copied prefs.js from old profile to new profile -> CRASH

The bug seems to be somewhere into the preferences set in my prefs file.

TB17278040Q
If a programmer wants my prefs.js I can send it to him by email but I'd rather
not have it attached to a bugzilla file report since it countains information
about my email accounts and some of them do not receive spam yet :-)
Ok, it looks like i spoke too soon. Now none of my profiles crashes with this
groupmarks...

This groupmark had the following sites :
http://www.osnews.com/
http://solutions.journaldunet.com/
http://www.journaldunet.com/
http://fr.news.yahoo.com/101/
http://www.mozillazine.org/
http://news.zdnet.fr/
http://www.webstandards.org/
http://fr.news.yahoo.com/32/

Since most of these sites are news sites, perhaps the problem is not the site
but a certain type of banner add that would make mozilla crash when it is
displayed...














spoke with brendan about this.  no chance that pldhash is doing something wrong
here.  in fact, it never nulls out the |ops| member var.  chances are something
is corrupting memory.  after inspecting the socket transport service a bit, it
appears that some of the array bounds are not completely protected.  i'm going
to put together a safety patch to eliminate any possibility of memory corruption
when too many sockets are in use.

Comment on attachment 114861 [details] [diff] [review]
patch: stronger bounds checking

summary of changes:

1- AttachSocket: utilize AddToIdleList so that we are only incrementing
mIdleCount in one place.

2- add runtime checks to enforce array bounds.

3- make MoveToPollList and MoveToIdleList handle errors.

4- eliminate unnecessary mServicingEventQ flag.

also, it's likely that socket transport leaks (e.g., bug 191835) could explain
the ABR problem.

mActiveList[0] seems to be unused, given the ++mActiveCount below:

Do you really need mActiveList and mPollList to be NS_SOCKET_MAX_COUNT+1 in
length, while mIdleList is NS_SOCKET_MAX_COUNT?  My suggestion over irc about
PRUint32 based single-ended range checks allows an mActiveList index of 0,
where the old assertions did not.  The for loop from NS_SOCKET_MAX_COUNT down
to 1 would have to change, of course....

/be
brendan:

yeah, ultimately i want to change mActiveList to be based at index 0 instead of
index 1.  that was not a good design decision on my part to base it at index 1.
 i was thinking of making that change post 1.3 final since it seems more risky,
and i don't fear my checks allowing access to mActiveList[0] since at least that
wouldn't be corrupting memory :-/

that said, i can certainly put together a patch to change mActiveList to be
based at index 0 instead.  let me know if that's what you would prefer.  maybe
it won't turn out to be that much more complex.  hmm...
i have a better patch in mind...

v1.1 patch: revised per brendan's comments

ok, i feel a lot better about this patch.  mActiveList[i] => mPollList[i+1]. 
this actually ended up simplifying a bunch of the array manipulations since
mActiveList is now based at index 0 :)

v1.1 patch: revised per brendan's comments

Only thought is to use struct assignment and not memcpy, as SocketContext is a
two-word struct.  Gcc may inline equivalently; wonder what MSVC does.

Nit: "take care to only check idle sockets that were idle to begin with ;-)" --
transpose "only" and "check".

Where's the .h file patch?

v1.2 patch: yeah, structure assignment does make a lot more sense

Do you need an assignment operator?  If struct SocketContext is plain old data,
I think you should let the compiler select the best instructions (64-bit if
possible on new architectures).

v1.3 patch



+    nsresult rv = AddToIdleList(&sock);
+    if (NS_SUCCEEDED(rv))
+	 NS_ADDREF(handler);

Does it make sense to hide the addref within AddToIdleList?

the patch doesn't apply cleanly to the tree.
Attachment #115168 - Flags: superreview?(dougt) → superreview+
doug: AddToIdleList is also called from MoveToIdleList.  in that case the STS
already owns a reference to the handler, and it just needs to move the reference
from the active list to the idle list.  so, i think it makes sense for
AttachSocket to be responsible for the ADDREF.  NOTE: the release happens in
DetachSocket.  thx for the review!
