Due to not acquiring lock, clang reports:
  lib/vlog.c:618:12: error: reading variable 'log_fd' requires holding mutex
  'log_file_mutex' [-Werror,-Wthread-safety-analysis]
  return log_fd;
The patch fixes by skipping it using OVS_NO_THREAD_SAFETY_ANALYSIS.

Tested-at: https://travis-ci.org/github/williamtu/ovs-travis/builds/666051210

You can't just mark the existing send_backtrace_to_monitor()
OVS_NO_THREAD_SAFETY_ANALYSIS?  It seems like the easiest change.

Also, the OVS_REQUIRES should also go in vlog.h.

Thanks,

Ben.

OK
that will also work.

OK

Adding 'OVS_REQUIRES(log_file_mutext)' to vlog.h has error like this:
./include/openvswitch/vlog.h:147:36: error: use of undeclared
identifier 'log_file_mutex'
int vlog_get_fd(void) OVS_REQUIRES(log_file_mutex);

I will have to move log_file_mutex and pattern_rwlock to vlog.h.
Do we want this?
Does it make difference if OVS_REQUIRES is only used in C file
but not in header file?

Thanks,
William

To avoid exposure of the vlog internals, maybe we could create a new function like:

/*
 * This function writes directly to log file without using async writer or
 * taking a lock.  Caller must hold 'log_file_mutex' or be sure that it's
 * not necessary.  Could be used in exceptional cases like dumping of backtrace
 * on fatal signals.
 */
void
vlog_direct_write_to_log_file_unsafe(const char *s)
    OVS_NO_THREAD_SAFETY_ANALYSIS
{
    if (log_fd >= 0) {
        ignore(write(log_fd, s, strlen(s)));
    }
}

William, Ben, WDYT?

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.

Hi Ilya,
I think this is a good idea, let me work on it.

Hi Ilya,

Do you know any restrictions when calling functions in signal handler?
When use this approach, the backtrace does not print anything.
I'm still debugging it with the below patch:

I have the issue fixed and sent v2 patch
https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2020-March/369070.html

The issue was that I compile the code with address sanitizer below:
./configure CC=clang --enable-Werror CFLAGS="-g -O2 -fsanitize=address"
Then no backtrace is shown.
Remove '-fsanitize=address' or use GCC works OK.

Thanks
William

OK.  Makes sense.
