I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 on AMD64. mozStorage::FinishAsyncIO is very slow on shutdown, and sometimes seems to hang. Sometimes it takes 5-10 seconds, but I've let it go 30 seconds or so on a couple of occasions. Haven't caught it in a debugger in those cases.

Are you on a networked file system or anything like that? Do you have it set to clear your history when you shut down?

(In reply to comment #1) > Are you on a networked file system or anything like that? No. > Do you have it set to clear your history when you shut down? I don't believe so (the box is not in front of me, but it was a fresh OS install, and a trunk check out with no profile adjustments).

This regressed between 2006-05-10 04:00 and 2006-05-12 12:00. http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsquery.cgi?treeid=default&module=PhoenixTinderbox&branch=HEAD&branchtype=match&dir=&file=&filetype=match&who=&whotype=match&sortby=Date&hours=2&date=explicit&mindate=2006-05-10+04&maxdate=2006-05-12+12&cvsroot=%2Fcvsroot I'm guessing it was the thread manager landing since it touched the function Robert mentioned in mozStorageAsyncIO. Hopefully Darin will know what's going on here.

I'm not sure what's going on exactly, but I suspect that the fix would be isolated to the storage component. FinishAsyncIO should terminate.

I had the location of the hang wrong in IRC, it's here: http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/storage/src/mozStorageAsyncIO.cpp#551 The hang happens before AsyncWriteThread::Run() gets a chance to execute.

> The hang happens before AsyncWriteThread::Run() gets a chance to execute. Very interesting. That's confusing because the stack makes it look like AsyncWriteThread::Run is refusing to exit.

I find it somewhat alarming that AsyncWriteThread::Run is being called on more than one thread. I thought I recall Brett saying that this async flushing business does not work from multiple threads.

(In reply to comment #10) > I find it somewhat alarming that AsyncWriteThread::Run is being called on more > than one thread. I thought I recall Brett saying that this async flushing > business does not work from multiple threads. Yes, I noticed that as well -- all the async IO setup is per-process, so there shouldn't be two seperate threads going on. The only thing that I can think of is that something is using mozStorageService as a component and not as a service; it doesn't seem to have any protection in mozStorageService::Init against being initialized multiple times.

It used to be the case that this would be bad, but then we needed it for the anti-phishing service. It should work now, perhaps the anti-phishing service is doing something wrong?

I still see this when browser.safebrowsing.enabled is set to false. So assuming anti-phising is being completely disabled with this pref., it is not to blame for this.

*** Bug 349293 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

This is a SWAG, but in the thread manager landing, Darin changed mozStorageService to observe shutdown on "xpcom-shutdown-threads" instead of "quit-application". http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&file=mozStorageService.cpp&branch=&root=/cvsroot&subdir=mozilla/storage/src&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&rev1=1.8&rev2=1.9 I changed it back to "quit-application" and I don't see the hang anymore. This doesn't break anything obvious; e.g. history entries are still intact and I don't see any assertions, but I have no idea what other implications this has.

this works for me now... reopen otherwise
