Bug #8483: SEGV under high concurrency
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8483#change-40261

Author: diego.plentz (Diego Plentz)
Status: Open
Priority: High

Category: core
Target version: 
ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0p195 (2013-05-14 revision 40734) [x86_64-linux]
Backport: 1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN


Follow a few segfaults from /var/log/messages https://gist.github.com/plentz/5701752

I'm using sidekiq at my production servers and the ruby process dies with a segfault constantly(it's dying constantly since the last 2 weeks). I'm using concurrency of 50 with sidekiq, which causes a lot of threads to run.

I'm using ruby-2.0.0p195, but the problem happens with ruby-1.9.3-p392, ruby-1.9.3-p429 and ruby-2.0.0p0 as well. I already rollbacked all our gems, which probably means that the problem is really something with our ruby code causing the problem and not some gem that we use.

Here's what I managed to get using gdb

I can't find which line of the code is triggering the problem, since right after the segfault, I can't call (gdb) call rb_backtrace() to find the ruby stacktrace(or just don't know how).

If someone give me some directions, I can get more info, since the problem happens very often in our environment.
