DB2 - Problem description

Problem IT10249	Status: Closed
POSSIBLE CACHE CORRUPTION(SEGV/CRASH): ENTRY CAN BE FREED BY ONE THREAD AND ADDED TO LRU BY ANOTHER AT THE SAME TIME
product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
It is possible that one thread removes an entry from the LRU and cached entries list and then frees that entry while another thread is currently adding it again to the LRU list. This results in using a freed entry that most likely will lead to a segv/crash. Typical stacks would look like the following (top part of stack): == Example 1 == 0x00007FA06864E2FB sqlrlc_remove_from_lru + 0x006b 0x00007FA0686439F4 sqlrlc_csm_lru_cache + 0x0144 0x00007FA068640EDC sqlrlc_csm_lru + 0x04ac 0x00007FA06863FC4D sqlrlc_csm_processing + 0x017d 0x00007FA06863F825 sqlrlc_check_available_memory + 0x0175 0x00007FA0686A2035 sqlrlcAuthidsUpdateEntries + 0x0565 0x00007FA0686A3DFA sqlrlcAuthidsFindRolelist + 0x076a == Example 2 == 0x00007F80B5E639E0 sqlo_xlatch11getIdentityEv + 0x0000 0x00007F80B8AF0074 sqlrlc_update_lru + 0x01c4 0x00007F80B8ADE81A sqlrlc_auth_find_insert + 0x035a 0x00007F80B8B189D8 sqlrlc_sysuserauth_get_authPDs + 0x00d8 0x00007F80B8B1874D sqlrlc_sysuserauth_request_auths + 0x023d 0x00007F80B8A1ACF1 sqlrlgua + 0x0391 2013-12-04-11.06.56.120423-300 EDUID : 62 EDUNAME: db2agent (CAT) FUNCTION: DB2 UDB, catcache support, sqlrlc_create_insert_entry, probe:2445 new entry:- p_entry = 0x00007f5fed53e600 [1] 0x00007F602C7774F5 sqlrlc_create_insert_entry + 0x105 [2] 0x00007F602C76C890 sqlrlc_auth_find_insert + 0x3D0 [3] 0x00007F602C7A6D78 sqlrlc_sysuserauth_get_authPDs + 0xD8 [4] 0x00007F602C7A6AED sqlrlc_sysuserauth_request_auths + 0x23D 2013-12-04-11.06.58.487657-300 EDUID : 62 EDUNAME: db2agent (CAT) FUNCTION: DB2 UDB, catcache support, sqlrlc_auth_find_insert, probe:112 updating LRU:- p_entry = 0x00007f5fed7c9d00 p_anchor = 0x00007f5fec33cd70 0x00007F5FED7C9D00 : 70CD 33EC 5F7F 0000 00E6 53ED 5F7F 0000 p.3._.....S._... 0x00007F5FED7C9D10 : 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ 0x00007F5FED7C9D20 : 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ 0x00007F5FED7C9D30 : 0E00 0000 0200 0000 ........
