Freeze the trunk and release
by Steven Edwards 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Hi, If our testing cordinator would agree to it I think it would be nice to freeze the trunk for a week and then branch for another release. Its been 2+ months and I am seeing the following bugs dhcp client - broken firefox - kernel crashes cdrom - device not being found I think its time we get her qusi-stable again. -- Steven Edwards - ReactOS and Wine developer "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo

Kernel32 race condition
by Ge van Geldorp 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

While working on proper logoff/shutdown processing, I'm running into an interesting race condition inside kernel32. The shutdown command (apps/utils/shutdown) calls ExitWindowsEx() and then terminates, which causes kernel32's DllMain() function to be called with the DLL_PROCESS_DETACH reason. This will clean up kernel32 resources, like calling RtlDeleteCriticalSection(&ConsoleLock). Now, before the process is completely shutdown, CSRSS will send it a CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT. To deliver this event, CSRSS calls CreateRemoteThread(). So CreateRemoteThread() is called while the main thread is executing DLL_PROCESS_DETACH cleanup. During handling of CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT, the new thread will try to enter the ConsoleLock critical section, which was already deleted by the main thread. Chaos results. To solve this, first I was looking for a way to disable new thread creation when a process enters ExitProcess(), but that won't solve the problem. We can still have a thread A which calls ExitProcess(), have a context switch to existing thread B of the same process which does something that needs the ConsoleLock. Then I considered SuspendThread()ing all other threads of the process when ExitProcess() is called, but that could potentially lead to deadlocks if the suspended threads hold synchronization objects. So now I'm inclined to believe that the solution is to just not do the resource cleanup during DLL_PROCESS_DETACH handling. But that doesn't feel very clean either. Anyone have a better idea? GvG

by Magnus Olsen 01 Dec '05

We do not support some binutils for diffent reason and I do not think this patch is good, for it active least one version of binutils that always break reactos, it does not the linking right or was it some other issue. And I do not want see this patch in reactos for that reason. see older mails why we support 2.15.94 or higher. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Buell" <alex.buell(a)munted.org.uk> To: "ReactOS Development" <Ros-dev(a)reactos.org> Sent: den 29 November 2005 17:52 Subject: [ros-dev] Patch for lib/rtl/i386/math_asm.S > The following might be better for those of us using older binutils > > --- lib/rtl/i386/math_asm.S.orig 2005-11-29 15:47:23.000000000 > +0000 > +++ lib/rtl/i386/math_asm.S 2005-11-29 15:47:09.000000000 +0000 > @@ -731,7 +731,7 @@ > mov al,ah // Move condition flags to AL > lahf // Load Flags into AH > and al, 0b01000101 // Isolate C0, C2 and C3 > - and ah,not 0b01000101 // Turn off CF, PF and ZF > + and ah, 0b10111010 // Turn off CF, PF and ZF > or ah,al // Set new CF, PF and ZF > sahf // Store AH into Flags > jb __fpow1 // Re-direct if x < 0 > @@ -743,7 +743,7 @@ > mov al,ah // Move condition flags to AL > lahf // Load Flags into AH > and al, 0b01000101 // Isolate C0, C2 and C3 > - and ah,not 0b01000101 // Turn off CF, PF and ZF > + and ah, 0b10111010 // Turn off CF, PF and ZF > or ah,al // Set new CF, PF and ZF > sahf // Store AH into Flags > ja __fpow3 // Re-direct if y > 0 > @@ -759,7 +759,7 @@ > mov al,ah // Move condition flags to AL > lahf // Load Flags into AH > and al, 0b01000101 // Isolate C0, C2 and C3 > - and ah,not 0b01000101 // Turn off CF, PF and ZF > + and ah, 0b10111010 // Turn off CF, PF and ZF > or ah,al // Set new CF, PF and ZF > sahf // Store AH into Flags > je __fpow2 // Proceed if y = int(y) > > Cheers, > Alex > -- > http://www.munted.org.uk > > Anyone that thinks an imaginary deity is going to protect them against > earthquakes and hurricanes needs psychiatric help. > _______________________________________________ > Ros-dev mailing list > Ros-dev(a)reactos.org > http://www.reactos.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-dev > > > -- > No virus found in this incoming message. > Checked by AVG Free Edition. > Version: 7.1.362 / Virus Database: 267.13.9/185 - Release Date: 2005-11-28 > >

We're at the 2 month period since our last release. Is it not time to branch now and chase some more publicity If Alex meets his 1st December deadline for User-Mode networking, I propose a 0.2.9 branch then.
