Added this patch to my env, still reproducing the same issue after ~10-20 tries.
I added a breakpoint to service_lcore_uninit that is indeed caught
when exiting the test application (just wanted to make sure your
change was in my binary).
To reproduce:
I modified app/test/meson.build to have an explicit "-l 0-1" +
compiled with your patch.
Then, I started a dummy busyloop "while true; do true; done" in a
shell that I had pinned to core 1 (taskset -pc 1 $$).
Finally, started another shell (as root), pinned to cores 0-1 on my
laptop (taskset -pc 0,1 $$) and ran meson test --gdb --repeat=10000
service_autotest
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
