When fetching packfiles, we write a bunch of lockfiles for the packfiles we're writing into the repository. In order to not leave behind any cruft in case we exit or receive a signal, we register both an exit handler as well as signal handlers for common signals like SIGINT. These handlers will then unlink the locks and free the data structure tracking them. We have observed a deadlock in this logic though: (gdb) bt #0 __lll_lock_wait_private () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/lowlevellock.S:95 #1 0x00007f4932bea2cd in _int_free (av=0x7f4932f2eb20 <main_arena>, p=0x3e3e4200, have_lock=0) at malloc.c:3969 #2 0x00007f4932bee58c in __GI___libc_free (mem=<optimized out>) at malloc.c:2975 #3 0x0000000000662ab1 in string_list_clear () #4 0x000000000044f5bc in unlock_pack_on_signal () #5 <signal handler called> #6 _int_free (av=0x7f4932f2eb20 <main_arena>, p=<optimized out>, have_lock=0) at malloc.c:4024 #7 0x00007f4932bee58c in __GI___libc_free (mem=<optimized out>) at malloc.c:2975 #8 0x000000000065afd5 in strbuf_release () #9 0x000000000066ddb9 in delete_tempfile () #10 0x0000000000610d0b in files_transaction_cleanup.isra () #11 0x0000000000611718 in files_transaction_abort () #12 0x000000000060d2ef in ref_transaction_abort () #13 0x000000000060d441 in ref_transaction_prepare () #14 0x000000000060e0b5 in ref_transaction_commit () #15 0x00000000004511c2 in fetch_and_consume_refs () #16 0x000000000045279a in cmd_fetch () #17 0x0000000000407c48 in handle_builtin () #18 0x0000000000408df2 in cmd_main () #19 0x00000000004078b5 in main () The process was killed with a signal, which caused the signal handler to kick in and try free the data structures after we have unlinked the locks. It then deadlocks while calling free(3P). The root cause of this is that it is not allowed to call certain functions in async-signal handlers, as specified by signal-safety(7). Next to most I/O functions, this list of disallowed functions also includes memory-handling functions like malloc(3P) and free(3P) because they may not be reentrant. As a result, if we execute such functions in the signal handler, then they may operate on inconistent state and fail in unexpected ways. Fix this bug by just not free'ing memory when running in the signal handler. We're about to re-raise the signal anyway and will thus exit, so it's not much of a problem to keep the string list of lockfiles untouched. Note that it's fine though to call unlink(2), so we'll still clean up the lockfiles correctly.
