Description

The kernel panics almost immediately after a video has started playing.

Steps to reproduce:
- Use DragonFly 3.7/x86_64 (i386 untested)
- Launch firefox
- Try to see a video on youtube

Panic message and stack trace:

<6>pid 1606 (firefox), uid 1000: exited on signal 6
panic: assertion "ref >= &td->td_toks_base && ref->tr_tok == tok" failed in lwkt_reltoken at /usr/src/sys/kern/lwkt_token.c:812

i am curious, which firefox are you using? version 26?

and was firefox installed from binary package?

Actions #3

Updated by ftigeot about 9 years ago

It was with firefox 25 (both package and locally compiled dports version).
Now that I've upgraded to firefox 26, the issue isn't visible anymore.

I can still reproduce this issue with a firefox or seamonkey binary built with the ALSA option

Actions #5

Updated by ftigeot about 9 years ago

The kernel panic is obviously caused by some wrong usage of the p->p_token token.

Removing the lwkt_gettoken() and lwkt_reltoken() calls from sigexit() is enough to prevent it.
The user process dies quietly, producing a coredump and printing some debug information:

Assertion failed: (r == 0), function alsa_stream_destroy, file /usr/obj/dports/www/seamonkey/work/comm-release/mozilla/media/libcubeb/src/cubeb_alsa.c, line 885.

Hi,

I've been using firefox and HTML5 videos recently but no panics. This is for sure fixed.

Cheers
