Some days ago, while working I experienced a crash of KDE. I don't exactly remember the symptoms, but in the end, I had to leave anyway, so I shut down my system. When I brought it up later, initially KDE appeared to start, but then a number of message windows appeared reporting crashes in several KDE applications, each caused by a bus error. As there was no way for me to interact with those windows, I restarted KDE, but with the same result. After some investigation, it appeared that /var was at 100% due to an excessive amount of syslog messages. I purged some logs, and then tried to restart KDE, which once again raw flawlessly. Apparently therefore, KDE has a problem running when it can't write to /var/tmp, and instead of informing the user about the problem, most parts of KDE crash with SIGBUS, leaving the user puzzled. It seems that this problem was reported before: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=235081 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233127 (and possibly others) but both those bugs have been marked 'resolved'. I am reporting this bug (again), as I think the original reporters' problem may have been solved (just as my KDE starts fine again), but the underlying problem in KDE hasn't: KDE crashes without even a hint of a cause when /var/tmp fills up. I'd appreciate if you could look into and solve this problem, Kind regards, Rogier. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Fill up /var/tmp 2. Make sure KDE needs to write to /var/tmp (e.g. by removing a file in /var/tmp/kdecache-<user>) 3a. Start an affected KDE application: SIGBUS 3b. Restart KDE: when out of luck, plasma-desktop crashes with SIGBUS, leaving KDE unusable Actual Results: Specific test results: I filled up /var, and made sure a process was running to keep it filled up at 100% When starting systemsettings and selecting 'workspace appearance/desktop theme', systemsettings consistently crashes with SIGBUS. When starting amarok, amarok consistently crashes with SIGBUS When restarting KDE, kmix crashes with SIGBUS, but for the rest, KDE seems to start fine When restarting KDE after removing a 'random' file (ksycoca4) from /var/tmp/kdecache-<user>, KDE no longer manages to start at all. Most of the time, plasma is the first one to crash with SIGBUS, along with some other parts of KDE (krunner, kmix). Combined with the fact that there is no keyboard or mouse response at all, KDE is entirely unusable. A few times, I got a flashing screensaver (i.e. screen alternating between black and a screensaver prompt). This is rare - most restarts result in crash windows for plasma-desktop et al. When freeing up some space on /var, KDE starts and runs fine again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I haven't tried to fill up /var, keep it filled up, and keep working to see if at some point KDE finally rewrites some /var/tmp file, fails, and ends up crashing altogether, like it did for me initially. Expected Results: Preferably, KDE and its applications don't crash, but continue to run, possibly in degraded mode (if possible at all). At the very least, they inform the user of the root cause of the problem when crashing, so that he is at least able to remedy the situation.
Is /var on an ext4 file system? If yes, the space for cache files should have been pre-allocated, but we cannot know why it crashes unless we see the backtrace.
/var is on ext4. Cache file space pre-allocation may be OK, as KDE starts fine (except for kmix) when /var has filled up while the system is running. I'll install the debian debug packages and create some backtraces, probably tomorrow. Could it be that the root cause for the crash of the applications is that they fail to allocate space for one or more cache files on /var ? Possibly, they fail to check some return code, then assume allocation of the cache file succeeded ? In any case, when they try to use the (presumably mmap-ed ?) cache file that couldn't be allocated anyway, they die because of a SIGBUS.

Please let me know if you need more examples - e.g. from plasma-desktop. BTW: My statement that the above systemsettings backtrace happened while starting was in error: it happened when selecting 'Workspace Appearance and Behavior'/'Workspace Appearance'/'Desktop Theme' after starting. Sorry for any confusion. Simply selecting that category makes systemsettings crash.
Those should be enough, they both indeed point to code handling cache files.

Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!
This could be the same as or similar to bug 400610. I was able to track this down to a specific line in kcoreaddons: src/lib/caching/kshareddatacache.cpp, see bug 400610
Thanks for the update!
Git commit eb916c305a5cd8683e7e8f955740a7c810220e19 by Alexey Min. Committed on 07/11/2018 at 23:33. Pushed by alexeymin into branch 'master'. Fix crash if XDG_CACHE_HOME directory is too small or out of space Summary: Incorrect checking for error return code of posix_fallocate() causes function to think that everything is OK, while it is not, causing crash in some cases. Related: bug 400610 Test Plan: good test plan provided in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=400610 . Works like a charm, tested in KDE Neon dev-ustable The reason for bug was that return value of posix_fallocate() was assumed to be negative on error, but in fact it is a positive integer. The check was `< 0`, whi should be `!= 0`. ( http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/posix_fallocate.3.html ) With this fix applied test application does not crash, and the output in console widow is: ``` No space left on device. Check filesystem free space at your XDG_CACHE_HOME! The operating system is unable to promise 10547304 bytes for mapped cache, abandoning the cache for crash-safety. org.kde.kcoreaddons: Failed to establish shared memory mapping, will fallback to private memory -- memory usage will increase ``` Reviewers: dfaure, #frameworks, mpyne Reviewed By: dfaure Subscribers: cfeck, kde-frameworks-devel Tags: #frameworks Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D16744 M +4 -1 src/lib/caching/kshareddatacache_p.h https://commits.kde.org/kcoreaddons/eb916c305a5cd8683e7e8f955740a7c810220e19
Since 400610 is automatically closed as resolved fixed, this one should probably be closed too.
