Xcb-Errors #184

totaam · 2012-09-19T13:53:41Z

Issue migrated from trac ticket # 184

component: client | priority: major | resolution: fixed

2012-09-19 13:53:41: mptei created the issue

Part of changeset r1527 was a change to protocol.py (see the patchset in the attached file).
This change leads to errors:
2012-09-19 11:58:02,810 xpra client version 0.7.0
Attached (press Control-C to detach)
[xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue
[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
python2.7: /var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/libX11-1.5.0/work/libX11-1.5.0/src/xcb_io.c:273: poll_for_event: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost' failed.
some seconds after a connection is attached.

After reverting this change the error is gone.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Yes, we do want that change and I thought I had checked that all callees were indeed non-UI-thread safe.

How do you get this warning to show up? Which distro, version, etc? (edit: looks like gentoo with portage, so what profile, arch, etc..)

Also what was the exact revision tested?

2012-09-19 16:08:23: antoine commented

More details: the client only has 3 functions called from the network thread (see self._ui_packet_handlers vs self._packet_handlers in client.py), all the other functions are called from the UI thread via idle_add (the difference is that this is now done in client.py specifically to give us the ability to not go via the UI thread when not needed), those are:

ping: only records the event and calls the send() which eventually leads to _add_packet_to_queue which is part of the network queue code, and which is thread safe (uses an exclusive lock to queue).

ping_echo: only records the echoed data

draw: there is a potential race here with mmap areas, which needs fixing, but this does not call anything UI related. The other codepath simply queues the packet for processing by another thread (the draw_thread_loop thread) (and it may also send a network packet in rare mmap cases when the window has disappeared - same codepath as ping)
This other thread (which was also introduced by the same changeset and is much more likely to be the real cause of the problem - your partial revert may just make it less likely or impossible to lose the race) only picks up items to draw from the queue and calls window.draw_region do decode and draw the frame. Assuming that you are using python2.x and gtk2.x (not doing so is very difficult!), this leads to 5 possibilities depending on the encoding used (which is not always the same as the encoding you specified... - which one did you specify?):

paint_mmap is called from the UI thread (grabs hold of the rgb24 mmapped data and calls do_paint_rgb24)

paint_rgb24 decompresses the data with zlib then calls do_paint_rgb24 from the UI thread

paint_x264 and paint_vpx use paint_with_video_decoder to decode the picture to rgb24 format then call do_paint_rgb24 from the UI thread

paint_pixbuf (used for png and jpeg) is called from the UI thread

I've gone as far as I can go without being able to reproduce the problem myself.

You are so fast! Faster than the problem reappears ...

The system is a gentoo linux last updated a week ago. It runs:

libxcb-1.8.1

Python 2.7.3

gtk+-2.24.10-r1
I'm using jpeg with 20% quality (because x264 is very slow and has bad picture quality).

I had this error for two days. Then I went back to a good version and from this version I went on until the problem apeared again. That revision was r1527. After undoing the change in protocol.py it was working and I went on to the head of the trunk (r1590) where it was working to.

Now I wanted to see this problem with debug switched on, but it disappeared! I'm currently on r1527 and this worked for hours. The xpra server was the same all the time (session started: 1 day, 19:17:50).

I think you could close the ticket for now. If the problem appears again, I know what I have to look for to find the cause.

Thank you very much for your quick investigation.

Closing for now. (r1591 fixes the mmap issue)

FYI: jpeg at 20% quality is very poor, is x264 really slower? (the bad quality thing is possible - we'll provide a similar option to be able to choose quality over latency, similar to the jpeg option). What are you link characteristics (lan, dsl?) and what app can I use to reproduce?

2012-09-20 09:02:00: mptei commented

I'm using different applications (chrome, gnumeric, gnucash, eclipse). Client is connected to internet via 80MBit down, 30MBit up. Server runs behind DSL line with 3MBit down and 400kBit up. Connection is tunneled via SSH with compression enabled (which speeds up tmux). Xpra is connected via tcp:localhost:5555.

At home I use a WLAN connection with 54MBit.

Via internet with x264 I have very high latency (sometimes up to 10 seconds). And the picture quality is often bad. That means text is unreadable, pictures are hardly to recognize. Sometimes it refreshes a little bit later to a better picture. But often picture simply stays that bad. Via WLAN picture quality is good (nearly excellent) but sometimes bad.

Via internet with jpeg 20% picture quality is ok (text is readable). Latency is lesser or equal to x264, but picture quality is consistent.

Via WLAN I normally use png which gives good latency and excellent picture quality.

But I think this is off-topic here ...

2012-09-20 09:15:13: antoine commented

Hah, ok, a few points:

if possible, it is best to use a separate xpra session for each app - less so with each release, but unfortunately still the case

80/30/MBit is plenty and should allow you to do 20fps or more at good quality, I suspect your latency is causing problems with the scheduling

ssh compression can be a problem (just how much I am not sure): adding some latency and doing absolutely nothing in terms of actual compression - maybe you ought to use a separate tunnel for video traffic?

wlan causes many latency problems, and may well contribute to x264 quality deterioration

the 10 seconds latency is way out of control! I'm going to have to try to reproduce that... hints welcome!

the picture quality heuristics are being re-worked, and as I mentioned, there will eventually be a way of choosing the latency vs quality trade off

--auto-refresh-delay=DELAY should be a good way of dealing with low quality frames when these are unavoidable... except there is a bug in trunk with x264/vpx which causes it not to work reliably at present (details: we send very small updates as png or rgb24 to avoid doing a full x264/vpx frame refresh, these are lossless so we cancel the auto-refresh at that point thinking we already have a lossy picture..)

If you can help me reproduce your issues, we should eventually be able to get you going with x264, and you should get an order of magnitude better quality/bandwidth usage than with jpeg..

I've seen it for the first time with x264 encoding, by running this command in an xterm and then clicking on the client window to focus it:
while true; do
  dmesg;
done
OTOH:

click is no different from mouse movements

maybe focus code?

we also cause a damage

But I wasn't running with GDK_SYNCHRONIZE="1" so this is not particularly helpful.

I think it may be related to focus switching more than the actual clicking, just a guess though..

Adding GDK_SYNCHRONIZE="1" does not help, gives the same crash.

This is not encoding specific either, as I am now using mmap and it definitely uses idle_add (and therefore runs in the UI thread) for painting..

So, now following the only other entry points:

_unfocus and focus_change: may call update_focus which may call clear_repeat (gobject.source_remove is fine to call, even if this was not from the UI thread) and send_focus (usual network queuing which is safe, as per comment:3)
do_motion_notify_event: as above, just queues a packet
_button_action: same

tcpdump to the rescue, here are the last few messages before the crash:

I had not thought about it, but we can also have clipboard packets when we click like a maniac.. oh this is going to be fun..

oh, this is really embarrassing. So much effort led me back to the original change: when I reviewed the callees, I had missed the fact that client.py overrides client_base.py to patch in the clipboard packets hooks... which were now running in the non-UI thread..

Fixed in r1717, I can no longer crash the client!
