Description Andrew Savonichev 2016-03-17 20:53:45 UTC
During normal work in krita gdb shows that threads are spawning and diying constantly (see the log at the end)
These threads belong to QThreadPool in KisUpdaterContext and they are destroyed after QThreadPool::waitForDone() call
on every idle checker tick (once in a few seconds I guess).

Here is a backtrace (2 frames less than needed):

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start krita under gdb
2. paint something

Actual Results:  
Long list of "New Thread" -> "Thread exited" in gdb output.

Expected Results:  
Create fixed number of threads and reuse them.

OS: Linux (Gentoo)
Revision: krita 3.0 from master: f037a59 Fix memleak: QPluginLoader objects need to be deleted

Does not reproduce on 2.9.11 from Gentoo portage.
Comment 1 Halla Rempt 2016-03-18 07:45:28 UTC
Weird... I cannot reproduce it with 3.0 on opensuse! Which version of Qt do you have?
Comment 2 Andrew Savonichev 2016-03-18 08:44:02 UTC
Qt 5.5.1-r1

proposed patch: https://phabricator.kde.org/D1166
Comment 3 Halla Rempt 2016-03-19 19:10:02 UTC
Okay -- let's ping dmitry on Monday and see what he thinks. The patch looks good to me, but this isn't quite my area of expertise.
Comment 4 Halla Rempt 2016-04-16 13:35:41 UTC
Hi Andrew,

Did you investigate further? What were your findings.
Comment 5 Halla Rempt 2016-06-16 12:39:24 UTC
Any news?
Comment 6 Andrew Savonichev 2016-07-07 19:42:05 UTC
Hi Boud,

Sorry, was not able to finish it for a long time.
I'll make an appropriate fix and update the review request.
Comment 7 Halla Rempt 2016-07-07 19:49:54 UTC
That would be awesome, thanks!
Comment 8 Dmitry Kazakov 2016-08-18 07:00:28 UTC
Git commit 9c34fef3320983c8e0542363121035eab225cd29 by Dmitry Kazakov, on behalf of Andrew Savonichev.
Committed on 18/08/2016 at 06:59.
Pushed by dkazakov into branch 'master'.

Summary:
KisUpdaterContext::waitForDone() method must lock context and wait
untill all threads finish their current tasks.
We cannot call QThreadPool.waitForDone() to do this, because after
waiting it removes all threads from the pool.

Test Plan:
Verified that no extra threads created: 8 for global thread pool and 8 for
KisUpdaterContext

Fix Krita discarding native threads every couple of seconds

For years Krita has been spawning native threads carelessly. It
happened because of the implementation of QThreadPool::waitForDone(),
which discards threads on every successful call.

We once had a patch for that (9c34fef3320983c8e0542363121035eab225cd29),
but it has been reverted due to deadlock regressions it introduced.

This patch adds a bit different implementation of the waiting strategy,
so (I hope) it won't cause any deadlocks.
