[ruby-core:71433] [Ruby trunk - Bug #8996] pthread_mutex_lock EINVAL

Issue #8996 has been updated by Sylvain Joyeux.

ruby -v changed from ruby 2.0.0p195 (2013-05-14 revision 40734) [x86_64-linux] to ruby 2.2.2p95 (2015-04-13 revision 50295) [x86_64-linux]
Backport deleted (1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN)

Got the same issue in the same conditions with
 - ruby 2.2.2p95 (2015-04-13 revision 50295) [x86_64-linux]
 - ruby 2.1.6p336 (2015-04-13 revision 50298) [x86_64-linux]

The OP diagnosis seem to be the right one, the following very simple script allows to reproduce in a few seconds on 2.1.6

    while true
        t = Thread.new { }
        t.raise Interrupt
    end

(I don't have a 2.2 install handy, can't run it on 2.2 but I guess it would work there as well)

Bug #8996: pthread_mutex_lock EINVAL
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8996#change-54802

----------------------------------------
ruby crashes leaving a stacktrace. . Cause is pthread_mutex_lock EINVAL

Based on the ruby source line where the problem happens (line 121 below) 

  119 def stop
  120       if @tcpServerThread
  121         @tcpServerThread.raise StandardError,"stop"
  122      end
  123 end

I suspect that the problem is there is a kind of race condition where @tcpServerThread has actually been destroyed (or is in the process of being destroyed) between lines 120 and 121. I am guessing that this results in thread_pthread.c (line 212 where the error occurs) checking that the pthread_mutex is either available or in EBUSY state, and throwing an error when it is not.

I'm not sure how one would solve it though...

Kind regards

Steve
