Analyzation:
The core dump always exists after running for a while or maybe after the sever restarts. It occurs at the initialization and involves with ONLY ONE thread, which is the main thread of the whole process.
The related code is two functions, which both checks the connection and read data from MariaDB. The first function works fine, however, the second one's checking connection leads to core dump.
The code to check connection is as follows:
void MySqlWaitConnected(MYSQL * p_mysql_data)
{
while (mysql_ping(p_mysql_data) != 0) {
SCLogInfo("Mysql ping error:%s", mysql_error(p_mysql_data));
#ifdef WIN32
Sleep(3000);
#else
sleep(3);
#endif
}
}
Previously, I solved a likely similar problem as follows:
Multiple threads shared ONE MySQL handler, which is the MYSQL data structure. Before inserting data into MariaDB without mutex, MySqlWaitConnected() is called. So while multiple threads do the same operation, inserting data is interrupted by mysql_ping() that leads to core dump. Afterwards, I comment MySqlWaitConnected() and add mutex for mysql_real_query() and mysql_commit().
Does anyone meet the same problem before? Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
