The D-Bus connection handler stored in the PlatformManager is not used anywhere. It's not required to pre-connect to D-Bus, because the connection (for given bus type) returned by the g_bus_get_sync() function is shared with other callers.
It is not necessary to start new GLib main event loop for every new D-Bus communication with external service. Single main event loop can handle all such communication.
TSAN thinks that memory accessed before the call to g_source_attach() (which is internally used by e.g. g_main_context_invoke() and g_idle_add()) needs to be guarded by a mutex, otherwise that's a race condition between the thread that is creating shared data (the current thread) and the glib main event loop thread. In fact such race condition does not occur because g_source_attach() acts here as pthread_create() - code is not executed on the other thread before the g_source_attach() is called.

@arkq , I suspect this fixes #9214. Can you confirm? |

@msandstedt It will definitely "fix" that issue, because the Right now there will be only one thread started and it's joined in the |
OK, that is great. But just to check, can we still do this? |

Yes, such pattern is possible. Twice or trice in a row I should say :) |

If using glib main loop, can't initChipStack in GUI application, such as Qt/Gtk |
|
@yzm157 what do you mean "can't initChipStack in GUI application"? There is a deadlock, segfault, etc. Do you got any logs? |
I created an application using pyqt5, |
|
Can you attach to deadlocked process with gdb and dump backtraces of all threads |
|
@arkq The following Python code can reproduce this problem: |
|
Looks like it's caused by mutex lock, could removing the lock cause other problems? |

Yes, however, this block of code is more or less required. Right now I've got some other important work to do, but I'll try to investigate this issue tomorrow. Sorry for inconvenience. One thing you can check is whether the |

Problem
When Linux platform uses WiFi (wpa_supplicant) and BLE (BlueZ) it runs one GLib main event loop per remote D-Bus service (one for wpa_supplicant and one for BlueZ). It is possible to handle all D-Bus related processing in one event loop - it's not required to start new thread for every D-Bus connection (D-Bus socket messages are handled in only one context any way - D-Bus connection is shared). Also, new WiFi address changer thread is started every time the
PlatformManagerImpl::_InitChipStack()is called, but previous one is not terminated when callingPlatformManagerImpl::_Shutdown()- thread leakage can be seen when running./tests/TestPlatformMgrtest.Changes
PlatformManagerImpl::_Shutdown()Testing
Tested locally with chip-tool and lighting-app.
CI should also check correctness of this PR.
