Although the probability is small, it still happened. Finaly I found there is a problem in the code of phtread_barrier_wait, and review code found that there may be problems in the following place, 81 a_store(&b->_b_lock, 0); 82 if (b->_b_waiters) __wake(&b->_b_lock, 1, 1); If scheduling occurs between lines 81 and 82, it will be not good. So I did an experiment and modified the source code of pthread_barrier_wait to verify my guess ```c 81 a_store(&b->_b_lock, 0); /* If it is scheduled out here, when another thread executes pthread_barrier_wait again, it can go through the entire function happily, that is, it will not be blocked */ syscall(yiled); // new add for test // When the dispatch comes back, this b has been released 82 if (b->_b_waiters) __wake(&b->_b_lock, 1, 1); ``` Here is an example of timer_create (src/time/timer_create.c) There are two threads A and B call pthread_barrier_wait. The call is as follows A thread: (timer_create // parent thread) { ..... // new add for test---begin while(b->_b_inst == NULL) { syscall(yield); } // new add for test---end pthread_barrier_wait(); } B thread: (start // child thread) { ..... // Ensure that this function is advanced to the if (!inst) {} branch of barrier_wait pthread_barrier_wait(); } In short, the reason for panic is that pthread_barrier_wait is not blocked as expected; I hope you help to confirm whether there is a problem with the implementation of pthread_barrier_wait or am I wrong? Looking forward to your reply. Thank you. [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 2764 bytes --]
