Description Elliott Sales de Andrade 2018-04-18 00:42:16 UTC 
Description of problem:
This is a problem being hit by matplotlib builds [1] on Rawhide when testing that Qt5 works. It can also be reproduced a bit simpler by running a Qt5 app in Xvfb. It might even be reproducible with a simple XCB app, but I don't know any off the top of my head.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-server-Xvfb-1.19.99.904-2.fc29.x86_64 (but it was also a problem with .902)
1.19.6 from F28 works.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 --install gdb xorg-x11-server-Xvfb mesa-libGL qt5-designer
2. mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 --no-clean --install --enablerepo=fedora-debuginfo mesa-libGL-debuginfo mesa-debugsource qt5-qtbase-gui-debuginfo qt5-qtbase-debugsource libxcb-debuginfo libxcb-debugsource
3. mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 --no-clean --shell
4. xvfb-run -a -s '-screen 0 640x480x24' gdb /usr/bin/designer-qt5 


Actual results:
Thread 1 "designer-qt5" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Pulling xorg-x11-server-common and xorg-x11-server-Xvfb 1.19.6 from koji and installing it fixes the crash. Now, I know the backtrace is in XCB, but it's processing a reply from the server that seems to be invalid.

Comment 1 Elliott Sales de Andrade 2018-04-18 06:13:51 UTC 
Bisect turned out to be relatively easy; seems to point to this commit:

d8ec33fe0542141aed1d9016d2ecaf52da944b4b is the first bad commit
commit d8ec33fe0542141aed1d9016d2ecaf52da944b4b
Author: Adam Jackson <ajax>
Date:   Wed Jan 10 13:05:45 2018 -0500

    glx: Use vnd layer for dispatch (v4)
    
    The big change here is MakeCurrent and context tag tracking. We now
    delegate context tags entirely to the vnd layer, and simply store a
    pointer to the context state as the tag data. If a context is deleted
    while it's current, we allocate a fake ID for the context and move the
    context state there, so the tag data still points to a real context. As
    a result we can stop trying so hard to detach the client from contexts
    at disconnect time and just let resource destruction handle it.
    
    Since vnd handles all the MakeCurrent protocol now, our request handlers
    for it can just be return BadImplementation. We also remove a bunch of
    LEGAL_NEW_RESOURCE, because now by the time we're called vnd has already
    allocated its tracking resource on that XID.
    
    v2: Update to match v2 of the vnd import, and remove more redundant work
    like request length checks.
    
    v3: Add/remove the XID map from the vendor private thunk, not the
    backend. (Kyle Brenneman)
    
    v4: Fix deletion of ghost contexts (Kyle Brenneman)

Comment 2 Elliott Sales de Andrade 2018-04-18 06:31:04 UTC 
Also, since I didn't post it before, when run with 8753218beae641e5c5ac2c2ba598cfb99a893cf4 (the parent commit), the output is:

QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to open swrast (search paths /usr/lib64/dri)
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to open swrast (search paths /usr/lib64/dri)
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to open swrast (search paths /usr/lib64/dri)
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to open swrast (search paths /usr/lib64/dri)
QXcbIntegration: Cannot create platform OpenGL context, neither GLX nor EGL are enabled

and then it just runs invisibly.
Comment 3 Philip Chimento 2018-04-22 04:49:54 UTC 
This is affecting GNOME's CI builds (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs/issues/141) and can be reproduced with simply "xvfb-run glxinfo".
Comment 4 Petr Pisar 2018-04-23 11:53:53 UTC 
It also breaks building Perl packages that execute X11 applications during tests.
Comment 5 Adam Jackson 2018-04-23 17:58:26 UTC 
I'm reasonably sure this is fixed by the following update to libglvnd:

* Wed Apr 18 2018 Adam Jackson <ajax> - 1.0.1-0.5.20180327git5baa1e5
- Go back to Requires: mesa-*, the fallout is too great (#1568881 etc)
Comment 6 Adam Jackson 2018-04-23 18:01:47 UTC 
... or it would be, in 1.20. In 1.19 Xvfb's default depth is 8bpp, and GLX doesn't work at that depth. Probably you want not to be running your tests against 8bpp though.

Comment 9 Petr Pisar 2018-04-24 08:50:03 UTC 
I don't care about color depth. I tried "Xvfb -ac -screen 0 640x480x24 :0", and Gtk client still segfaults.

It happens exactly since the libglvnd-1.0.1-0.5.20180327git5baa1e5 because it run-requires mesa-libGL. I can get the segfault even with older libglvnd or Xvfb if I install mesa-libGL.

It looks like GDK detects libGL uses it and then it segfaults. Of course glxinfo segfaults too.
Comment 10 Adam Williamson 2018-04-24 15:59:52 UTC 
Petr: can you check whether it works if you install mesa-dri-drivers ?
Comment 11 Petr Pisar 2018-04-25 06:10:07 UTC 
If I install mesa-dri-drivers and restart Xvfb, then the Gtk client works. Regardless of overriding the color depth.

Also If I upgrade xorg-x11-server-Xvfb to 1.19.99.905-1.fc29, the client works even without mesa-dri-drivers being installed.

Thank you for fixing it.
Comment 12 Fedora Update System 2018-04-27 04:11:16 UTC
