> The cond_signal calls are all contained within one big mutex_lock.
Sorry, I missed the fact that ldap_pvt_thread_cond_wait() inside bdb_tool_trickle_task() will unlock the bdb_tool_trickle_mutex.
But then, I think the author of the trickle task function has also forgotten this, because later on:
bdb_tool_trickle_active = 0; ldap_pvt_thread_cond_signal( &bdb_tool_trickle_cond_end ); ldap_pvt_thread_mutex_unlock( &bdb_tool_trickle_mutex );
Why even try to unlock the mutex when the earlier call to ldap_pvt_thread_cond_wait() will have done that already? Perhaps the intention was for the ldap_pvt_thread_cond_signal() to be called when the mutex was locked?
Actually, that might explain things, because the previous line:
bdb_tool_trickle_active = 0;
... is being called without holding the mutex, whereas bdb_tool_entry_close() is testing for !bdb_tool_trickle_active after acquiring the mutex. I think the fix is probably to do another mutex_lock() inside bdb_tool_trickle_task() prior to setting bdb_tool_trickle_active to 0. Like this:
