iio_buffer_destroy segfault via usb

[raccoman]

I'm having trouble closing and reopening a stream. During the execution of my application there is a possibility to change the n_blocks and block_size parameters. (the input parameters at the time of creating the stream).

Here is how I create the stream:

int sdr_create_stream(t_sdr *sdr) {
    sdr->rx_buf = iio_device_create_buffer(sdr->rx_stream_dev, 0, sdr->rx_mask);
    if (iio_err(sdr->rx_buf)) {
        logger_error("sdr", "sdr_create_stream() failed: iio_device_create_buffer() failed");
        return -1;
    }

    sdr->rx_stream = iio_buffer_create_stream(sdr->rx_buf, sdr->params.n_blocks, sdr->params.block_size);
    if (iio_err(sdr->rx_stream)) {
        logger_error("sdr", "sdr_create_stream() failed: iio_buffer_create_stream() failed");
        return -1;
    }

    if (pthread_create(&sdr->thread_rx, NULL, sdr_thread_rx, sdr) != 0) {
        logger_error("sdr", "sdr_init() failed: pthread_mutex_init() failed");
        return -1;
    }

    logger_debug("sdr", "sdr_create_stream() success");
    return 0;
}

Here is how I destroy it, before recreating it passing new parameters:

void sdr_destroy_stream(t_sdr *sdr) {

    pthread_cancel(sdr->thread_rx);
    pthread_join(sdr->thread_rx, NULL);

    iio_stream_destroy(sdr->rx_stream);

    iio_buffer_disable(sdr->rx_buf);
    iio_buffer_destroy(sdr->rx_buf);

    sdr_empty_data(sdr);
    logger_debug("sdr", "sdr_destroy_stream() success");
}

This should work fine, but quite always it segfault or freeze while calling iio_buffer_destroy

Can you upload your iio-config.h located in the build folder?

[raccoman]

There you go, I hope I didn't miss anything, I took out practically all the options to lighten the library. I just need the communication via USB

[pcercuei]

It looks like you are using an older version of the library, there are some macros missing here. Can you re-try with the latest "main"?

Now I'm using the latest one, but still segfault

[pcercuei]

I am trying to reproduce your segfault, running iio_rwdev, but it just works here.

What's iio_rwdev?

[pcercuei]

utils/iio_rwdev.c, it's part of the Libiio utilities.

[pcercuei]

@raccoman Can you maybe run it under GDB, and get a backtrace after it segfaults?

[raccoman]

@raccoman Can you maybe run it under GDB, and get a backtrace after it segfaults?

Sure, I'll try on Monday

[pcercuei]

Any progress?

Can you try my pcercuei/try-to-fix-usb branch, see if it makes any difference?

Thanks, I'll try as soon as I can. I was busy this week

[raccoman]

@pcercuei Hi pcercuei/try-to-fix-usb seems to work properly, what's changed?

[raccoman]

@pcercuei Nevermind, it seems to segfault less frequently, but still freeze on buffer clear
