*** Bug 277330 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

This happen to me a quite frequently after upgrade KDE to version 4.8. After start, Amarok plays one song and hangs. It is not possible to quit Amarok, I have to kill it.

The backtrace of running Amarok. Amarok compiled from git yesterday.

Would it mean KDirWatch is not thread-safe in this case?

I have some log messages (from 2.4.3) from the time of the crash that may be helpful:

amarok(6454)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::famEventReceived: FAM connection problem, switching to polling. 
QSocketNotifier: Invalid socket 5 and type 'Read', disabling...
amarok: Fatal IO error: client killed
KCrash: Application 'amarok' crashing...

2.5.0 still crashes, but doesn't leave any log messages.  Turning off "watch folders for changes" avoids the crash.  I use famd, not gamin.

Hmm, I don't think this is an Amarok bug. The code clearly deadlocks under KDirWatch and the documentation doesn't mention anything about threads, so let's assume KDirWatch class is re-entrant but not thread-safe. (e.g. safe to call from different threads as long as each thread operates on its own object)

Reporters, have you tried using inotify backend (which should be superior to FAM one) in KDirWatch?

As for me, I didn't. But I can try if you tell me how can I do it :)

(In reply to comment #11)
> As for me, I didn't. But I can try if you tell me how can I do it :)

First, fire up kdebugdialog and enable debugging for code 7001 (KDirWatch). Then restart Amarok and watch ~/.xsession-errors for KDirWatch messages. Mine says:

$ grep KDirWatch ~/.xsession-errors | grep -v addEntry
amarok(4690)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::KDirWatchPrivate: INotify available:  true

KDirWatch should use INotify by default on all Linuxen that support it. (must be enabled in kernel, all sane distros enable it)

Hallo Matej,
thanks for your hint, how to debug KDirWatch.
I found out, that amarok exceeded the inotify max_user_watches, which
was set to 65536 in /etc/sysctl.conf. So, KDirWatch switched to FAM, which
caused the deadlock.

Increasing the number in /etc/sysctl.conf or rather in /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
seems to solve the issue for me.

Nevertheless there is a bug and presumably it's in KDirWatch.

Thanks,
Henning

Reassigning to kdelibs. Guys, I think FAM backed in KDirWatch is to blame here. Reporters, kdelibs folks will probably want to know whether newest kdelibs 4.8.3 are affected.

A workaround for Amarok is to raise max_user_watches in /etc/sysctl.conf to something really big. See http://www.afiestas.org/nepomuk-is-not-fast-is-instant/

fyi too, gamin has some deadlocks of it's own, see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667230
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669292

I'd encourage folks experiencing this to poke your distro gamin maintainers to consider applying one of the patches referenced above.

The problem still occures with kdelibs 4.8.3.

If time allows, I will test the mentioned patches.

*** Bug 293646 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Problems with FAM/gamin also affect arbitrary non-KDE apps that want to integrate into KDE. For example my Google Chrome regularly fails to give me a save-file-dialog, since its using kdialog for that in a KDE4 environment and kdialog uses KFileDialog, which in turn starts FAM. For me this hangs in FAMOpen, no idea how to trigger that.

*** Bug 300850 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

AFAIK KDirWatch on FAM has never worked  well.
We had really bad problems with KDirWatch crashing kded4 in the time before the 4.0 release. Somebody fixed a typo in a preprocessor statement, which made FAM the default backend, which seems to have been the intention at some point, but didn't do anything due to the typo.
So we explicitly made inotify the default backend. FAM has not been fixed.

Andreas, when you say "we", to whom are you referring exactly?

KDE(libs) developers. I haven't done much in a while, but I was there at the time.

Oops, it looks like dfaure has improved FAM support in the meantime. It has never been the default, though, and I still wouldn't trust is as much as inotify.

Any advice on how to force KDirWatch to use iNotify instead of FAM? Amarok is unusable for me right now as it just deadlocks every time it tries to scan the collection.

Have tried setting all of the following in /etc/sysctl.conf but with no joy:

fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 1048576
fs.inotify.max_queued_events = 1048576
fs.inotify.max_user_instances = 1024

*** Bug 306172 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Whoa, this bug is nasty! Especially from the POV of a regular user, who would tend to blame the application.

I can confirm this bug is alive and well in Slackware 14.0 RC5 (Slackware-current) x86-64 using KDE 4.9.1.

Killing the gam_server process usually restores functionality. Meanwhile, you have a lot of hung apps you thought exited a long time before, and newer apps unable to start.

I understand this is not exactly KDE stuff but if you can fix this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The config entry that sets the default backend for non-NFS directories is, in $KDEHOME/share/config/kdeglobals:

[DirWatch]
PreferredMethod=inotify (or Fam or Stat)

and for NFS directories:
nfsPreferredMethod=inotify (or Fam or Stat)

Note that $KDEHOME is usually $HOME/.kde. Also note that the default for non-NFS mounts is already inotify, so either your distro sets something, possibly in /etc/ from where it cascades into your user config (you can override it), or you are using NFS mounts. inotify doesn't work for NFS, so you could try setting
nfsPreferredMethod=Stat
which uses "manual" polling. You can set the polling interval in milliseconds using
NFSPollInterval=12345 (the default is 5000).

Is anyone having problems on Linux kernels with working inotify support (>2.6.14)? That is where inotify should be used by default.

In my kdeglobals there is no [DirWatch] entry, so it's using a default value. Even so, I'm being affected by this bug.

My file also didn't have this entry. I'm using Fedora 17 with Linux version 3.5.3-1. My KDE version is 4.8.5.

My distribution (Slackware64-current, right now is 14.0 RC5) issued a patch for gamin that it's supposed to fix the issue. So far, it seems to work.

After update to KDE 4.9.1, I tried to use Amarok and it stopped playback after the second song in playlist. When I hit play, it crashed with a SIGSEGV.
Stacktrace follows:

Mauren, this looks like an another bug - backtrace references phonon-gstreamer and gstreamer. This is most probably a phonon-gstreamer or gstreamer bug.

Please create a new bug report with phonon-engines-gstreamer product, mighty Trever will deal with it. Apart from the backtrace also paste the first section of the Amarok Diagnostics page.

I will do so. What do you mean by Amarok Diagnostics page?

Nevermind, I just found out. I'm gonna fill another bug report.

Unfortunately, it is still alive in 4.11 pre.

Note that FAM is the default backend for NFS directories and maybe other non-local filesystems. Inotify is the default for local directories. So it would be interesting to hear if those with the bug described here who do not have FAM configured explicitly are using NFS home directories or otherwise NFS mounts.
It is also possible that some misguided distributions patch KDE to make FAM the default, or that they do it via global config files in /etc/kde4, which is also possible.

I use Gentoo. My collection is on NFS share mounted under /mnt.

After I have used workaround in comment #27 the problem is probably gone. I set method to Stat. I had to create DirWatch section in the config like this:

[DirWatch]
nfsPreferredMethod=Stat

It seems, that Gentoo does not set this to FAM by default anywhere. At least I haven't found it.

Backtrace

I'm also seeing this in KDevelop 4.6.0 on NixOS at startup while loading projects and while exiting (if projects load). Backtrace is attached.

This seems to be a bug in gam_server.
Killing it and letting it restart makes the system usable again. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=917848 and probably https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=786170

Yes, for reference here are 2 gamin (upstream) reports tracking the issue:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667230
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669292

I'd recommend distros and interested parties watch there, and pull one of those proposed fixes into their gamin builds/packaging in the meantime.

This is not a kde bug, we may as well close it here.
