Hi all,

I’m working on the Zinc server adaptor for Seaside 3.1 but I got stuck.

Launching the following from Gemtools brings up the server and makes it respond to requests nicely. Trying to do the same from a topaz session though, immediately throws an out-of-mem exception.

WAGsZincAdaptor startOn: 8383

If you break the blocking call in Gemtools and run the line above again, you also run out-of-mem after a couple of times (but only after _also_ connecting to the server from your web browser).

First question about this is why that does not happen in gem tools? I tried turning the auto commit off but that did not change anything.

Following advice in [1], I started investigating from gemtools and got this for the byte sizes in temp obj memory on 75% full:

#'ByteArray'->22153440, #'GsMethodDictionary'->3073088, #'GsMethodLookupCache'->2224064, #'GsProcess'->562224, #'String'->415504, #'Array'->340168, #'SocketStream'->322680, #'ExecBlock'->201664, #'VariableContext'->175552, #'SocketStreamSocket'->150696,  …0

The process browser shows over 100 threads displayed as follows:

(priority=25) ready [oop= …. ]

I guess this is where Dale started having nightmares. The stack traces show the out-of-mem always happens in the ZnNetworkingUtils>>setSocketStreamParameters: method.

All of this is using the current Zinc version on github for gemstone 3.1 [2]  and my version of the Seaside 3.1 port [3]

To try, load Seaside from my repo, load the ‘Zinc-Seaside’ group from the baseline and hit the above.

Any ideas are welcome

Johan

Johan,

Off hand, not sure why GemTools "works" - I have a feeling that we'll have to characterize this puppy before we know:)

Do you have a stack when you sampled the 75% full? With all of the sockets and processes hanging around, someone is spinning out of control producing new processes so a stack might point to the culprit ...

Johan,

I've finally started monkeying with this and the first thing I ran into (running this under tODE and trying to duplicate the GemTools error condition) was an error involving SocketStream and an apparent buffer overflow ... it looks to me that SocketStream>>next has no logic to refill the buffer once it is full ... at least I got a stack in which the ByteArray buffer was accessed at slot 4097 (1 larger than the buffer):

There are three other processes floating around as well ... I'll keep digging ...

Johan,

I've collected more info on two processes[1] ... first the one that gets an "index out of range error" and the other process that was sitting in the process list waiting for more input from the socket, but the socket was closed (at leasted #isConnected is false).

I hit the out of memory earlier but didn't collect any meaningful info ... I'm assuming that the multi-threaded boy is hitting an error somewhere and spinning away like crazy ...

Need to catch the error in progress and perhaps find out from Sven if there is supposed to be a "deadman switch" on this guy to avoid infinite errors ..

Hi all,

I’m working on the Zinc server adaptor for Seaside 3.1 but I got stuck.

Launching the following from Gemtools brings up the server and makes it respond to requests nicely. Trying to do the same from a topaz session though, immediately throws an out-of-mem exception.

WAGsZincAdaptor startOn: 8383

If you break the blocking call in Gemtools and run the line above again, you also run out-of-mem after a couple of times (but only after _also_ connecting to the server from your web browser).

First question about this is why that does not happen in gem tools? I tried turning the auto commit off but that did not change anything.

Following advice in [1], I started investigating from gemtools and got this for the byte sizes in temp obj memory on 75% full:

#'ByteArray'->22153440, #'GsMethodDictionary'->3073088, #'GsMethodLookupCache'->2224064, #'GsProcess'->562224, #'String'->415504, #'Array'->340168, #'SocketStream'->322680, #'ExecBlock'->201664, #'VariableContext'->175552, #'SocketStreamSocket'->150696,  …0

The process browser shows over 100 threads displayed as follows:

(priority=25) ready [oop= …. ]

I guess this is where Dale started having nightmares. The stack traces show the out-of-mem always happens in the ZnNetworkingUtils>>setSocketStreamParameters: method.

All of this is using the current Zinc version on github for gemstone 3.1 [2]  and my version of the Seaside 3.1 port [3]

To try, load Seaside from my repo, load the ‘Zinc-Seaside’ group from the baseline and hit the above.

Any ideas are welcome

Ha, a second try does yield better results. The start in topaz does not have the out-of-mem.
I do see a connection being dropped every other request…. but there is progress!

Don’t know what made it fail similarly the first time. The only change I did between this email and the one below is a restart of the stone...

Dale,

Unfortunately I’m getting the same result in topaz and less stable behaviour from gemtools (connections are dropped)
Looking into it…

Obviously, once I turn on the logging, the dropped connections disappear too…. (see log below)

I’m wondering about the ZnUnknownHttpMethod before closing the stream. It tries to read from an empty stream actually… 

But we are definitely making progress… 

I’m off Xmas shopping today but will look at this in the evening..

Ha, a second try does yield better results. The start in topaz does not have the out-of-mem.
I do see a connection being dropped every other request…. but there is progress!

Don’t know what made it fail similarly the first time. The only change I did between this email and the one below is a restart of the stone...

Dale,

Unfortunately I’m getting the same result in topaz and less stable behaviour from gemtools (connections are dropped)
Looking into it…

I moved the package SocketStream to the repo (changed baseline) and commit on socketstream_fix ... let me know if this works for you..

Dale,

It’s becoming quite a crazy issue…

I’m now executing the Zinc adaptor perfectly _without_ any of the changes to SocketStream.

I even did a complete load of Seaside31 and Zinc in a virgin image (without the fixes for SocketStream) and it works.

I got there because I was fiddling around to get to the origin of the second connection. To me, the original implementation of #atEnd is correct because #receiveData throws a timeout exception if it does not receive any data from the socket. However, I noticed that this does not happen in the Gs implementation of SocketStream because the timeout is set to 0. But now I’m unable to test my theory because the original implementation works…

So, there probably is still something fishy going on because we both had different kinds of errors before with the same codebase.

Yes I was seeing the second odd (null) connection, too and didn't figure out where that was coming from ... Didn't try things in topaz ...

I never did characterize the out-of-memory cause either ...

 I just focused on solving the spinning in empty buffer problem ... there are probably some remaining gotchas hanging around ...

Obviously, once I turn on the logging, the dropped connections disappear too…. (see log below)

I’m wondering about the ZnUnknownHttpMethod before closing the stream. It tries to read from an empty stream actually… 

But we are definitely making progress… 

I’m off Xmas shopping today but will look at this in the evening..

Ha, a second try does yield better results. The start in topaz does not have the out-of-mem.
I do see a connection being dropped every other request…. but there is progress!

Don’t know what made it fail similarly the first time. The only change I did between this email and the one below is a restart of the stone...

Dale,

Unfortunately I’m getting the same result in topaz and less stable behaviour from gemtools (connections are dropped)
Looking into it…

Johan,

I moved the package SocketStream to the repo (changed baseline) and commit on socketstream_fix ... let me know if this works for you..
