[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 393509] Re: Applications that use libxcb 1.1 cannot open more than 1024 files

2009-10-28 Thread Andrew Pollock
We've only been affected by the 32-bit version on a 64-bit system, and I
can't see a fixed ia32-libs in hardy-proposed

We were only experiencing problems with the 32-bit version of the
library on amd64 (via ia32-libs).

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 393503] [NEW] Performance-related changes made by Debian to libxcb 1.1

2009-06-29 Thread Andrew Pollock
Public bug reported:

Debian has recently made a 1.1-1.2 release of libxcb to stable. Since
Hardy derived from the same version and is LTS, I thought these changes
might be worth also applying to Hardy.

The changelog for 1.1-1.2 reads:

libxcb (1.1-1.2) stable; urgency=low

  * Non-maintainer upload to fix important performance issues
(closes: #487635).
  * Fix some fd leaks in _xcb_open_*()
  * Increase libxcb buffer size to 16k from 4k
  * Disable Nagle on TCP socket

 -- Julien Cristau jcris...@debian.org  Wed, 27 May 2009 20:06:47
+0200

If you do make an SRU containing these changes, please also ensure that
the version in ia32-libs is updated.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 393509] [NEW] Applications that use libxcb 1.1 cannot open more than 1024 files

2009-06-29 Thread Andrew Pollock
Public bug reported:

Hi,

We have some internal 32-bit applications that end up with a lot of
files open. If they in turn call a program that links with libxcb, more
often than not, that program segfaults.

This has been determined to be because libxcb uses select() and the man
page for select() says this:

An  fd_set  is  a  fixed size buffer.  Executing FD_CLR() or FD_SET()
with a value of fd that is negative or is equal to or larger than
FD_SETSIZE will result in undefined behavior.  Moreover, POSIX requires
fd to be a valid file descriptor.

Later versions of libxcb address this by using poll()

I'm attaching the patch that we are using internally against libxcb
1.1-1.1

If you make this SRU, please also ensure that the 32-bit version in
ia32-libs gets updated.

Thanks Chris! I hadn't had a chance to revisit this patch and remove the
bashism since it was identified as being a problem.
