There is already a note about multiple processes/threads opening the same environment at the same time. In short, don't do this. Even if the code is changed as you describe, if such a race condition can occur, then it also means that the check for mti_magic != MDB_MAGIC can also fail, so the fix is ineffective. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

(ITS#7815) mdb cannot retrieve inserted word
by clayton.stangeland＠gmail.com 05 Mar '14

Full_Name: Clayton Stangeland Version: gitorious mdb 2014-02-19 e2bdd44624a525 OS: Fedora 20 64 bit URL: http://www.strerror.com/mdb_bug_report/ Submission from: (NULL) (192.94.73.31) DUPLICATE bug report. New URL: for data file http://www.strerror.com/mdb_bug_report/. You can use the 3 non tgz files or download the tgz file which includes all of them. I have a text file of words (words.txt). Each is 511 or less characters. When inserting them into the database there comes a point when I can no longer retrieve words that were successfully added with mdb_cursor_put. It should be put in the libraries/liblmdb directory. The Makefile has an added command at the end. So put that, words.txt, and word_test.c in liblmdb directory and run 'make words'. It will build and run a failing test. First it reads each line of words.txt. Then it inserts them with their index as the value into mdb. If you change count = 29523 on line 145 to be count = 29522 then it works. Inserting the next word causes it to fail. It doesn't fail at the insert but it fails later. When iterating the cursor the words are not in order and looking up individually not all words can be retrieved. Also, changing line 151 to set val.mv_data, and val.mv_size to a string version of i (the index, using sprintf), it works. This fails the same way on 64 bit Fedora and 64 bit Windows 7.

Full_Name: Clayton Stangeland Version: gitorious mdb last commit Feb 19, 2014 e2bdd44624a525d4847c22d7ebf1ea4d154ed734 OS: Windows 7 URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (192.94.73.31) There is a bug in lightning mdb in mdb.c when running Windows. When creating an environment to the same file in multiple threads, an error can occur on the OpenMutex call and some of the creations will fail. In mdb_env_setup_locks, mdb_env_excl_lock is called. If it acquires an exclusive lock CreateMutex is called. env->me_rmutex = CreateMutex(&mdb_all_sa, FALSE, env->me_txns->mti_rmname); If not OpenMutex is called. env->me_rmutex = OpenMutex(SYNCHRONIZE, FALSE, env->me_txns->mti_rmname); The OpenMutex call can fail if there is a thread context switch between the time the exclusive lock is acquired and the time CreateMutex is called, because the mutex to open has not actually been created yet. To be clear OpenMutex in another thread gets run before CreateMutex in the first thread. The solution is to replace the OpenMutex calls with CreateMutex. It will either open the mutex if it exists or create it if it does not. Setting the bInitialOwner flag to FALSE as is already done is the recommended way to use CreateMutex in this situation.

We have no idea who wrote your application or what it involves. You are running an unsupported release of OpenLDAP provided by RedHat. If you have issue with the OpenLDAP build provided by RedHat, then you must contact them for support. The openldap ITS system is not the correct place to be pursuing the issues you have with your RedHat build of an ancient unsupported version of OpenLDAP. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Principal Software Engineer Zimbra, Inc -------------------- Zimbra :: the leader in open source messaging and collaboration
