Assertion tmp process failed

[emmanuelgeoffray]

Good morning!

Running $ cpulimit -l 240 python myscript.py on a quad-core debian with the master branch at this date After 20 minutes, I get:

cpulimit: process_group.c:203: update_process_group: Assertion `tmp_process.ppid == p->ppid' failed. 

myscript.py runs 60 to 120 child process.

Any clue how to fix that?

Thank you, Emmanuel

Hi,

Can you send a minimal version of your python script so I can reproduce?

Thanks Angelo

Hey, Thanks for replying so quickly. The script is on this repo

There's a install_dependencies.sh script, mostly to download/install python libs. After that, you can run the script with cpu-limit:

$ cpulimit -l 240 python run_webcams.py

Thanks! Emmanuel

I changed some things in my script to get it running for now, without cpulimit. So if you test the script, make sure you use the commit mentioned in the link above. Thanks! Emmanuel

Hi Angelo,

Is there a fix for the bug mentioned here?

[opsengine]

The issue should be solved. Please confirm.

Hi Angelo,

Sorry for the late reply.Now I get the following error:

cpulimit: process_group.c:175: update_process_group: Assertion `tmp_process.starttime == p->starttime' failed

Hi Angelo,

Here is some more information which program I'm using.I'm using it that way:

martin@maleksov ~ $ sudo cpulimit -l 200 -i -p 5248 Process 5248 found cpulimit: process_group.c:175: update_process_group: Assertion `tmp_process.starttime == p->starttime' failed

Hi Angelo,

Any idea when the issue with the cpulimit: process_group.c:175: update_process_group: Assertion `tmp_process.starttime == p->starttime' failed is going to be fixed.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Angelo,

Any updates?

Hello, Are there any news on this bug? I am experiencing very frequently the exact error message @zarere just told about: cpulimit: process_group.c:175: update_process_group: Assertion tmp_process.starttime == p->starttime' failed` The consequence is the process being run crashes in a dirty manner...

I am really considering giving cpulimit up and use the nice command along with some regular checks using the renice one. Any news on the matter?

I have the same error when use mongodump, but it's ok when backup without -i option:

it seems something was wrong in get_next_process so that tmp_process get wrong starttime or cputime:
