#2411: RaiseAsync and STM segfault with stop_at_atomically in some
circumstances.

Reporter: sclv | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: Compiler
Version: 6.8.3 | Severity: normal
Keywords: | Testcase:
Architecture: Unknown | Os: Unknown
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
x86_64 6.9 build from June 15. I can't distill it down to a single simple
testcase, but the backtrace is very informative:
ASSERTION FAILED: file RaiseAsync.c, line 1015
The assertion in question is "ASSERT(stmGetEnclosingTRec(tso->trec) ==
NO_TREC)".
This assertion is only called when we hit an ATOMICALLY_FRAME with
stop_at_atomically activated.
We only do that when Schedule.c is running the garbage collector and
raises an exception to retry an invalid stm transaction. I don't follow
enough here to offer a real patch, but obviously there is a false
assumption that the transaction we're trying to retry does not have an
enclosing trec. Why this may be the case is somewhat beyond me. I'm doing
various things with unsafeIOToSTM, so I think the answer may be that there
is some sort of forking going on with threaded IO which means that threads
may have enclosing trecs.
