Cause ===== This may happen in the following scenario: 1) Relay stream A is rotated to NULL. 2) viewer_get_next_index for viewer stream A: 2.1) observes a NULL rstream->trace_chunk, updates the viewer session current trace chunk to NULL (viewer_session_set_trace_chunk_copy). 2.2) "Transition the viewer stream into the latest trace chunk available." does not issue viewer_stream_rotate_to_trace_chunk, because the condition (rstream->completed_rotation_count == vstream->last_seen_rotation_count + 1 && !rstream->trace_chunk) evaluates to "true", and thus the entire if () evaluates to false. 3) check_index_status detects rstream->closed and index_received_seqcount == index_sent_seqcount, thus replying HUP to viewer, effectively releasing ownership of the viewer stream. 4) viewer_get_next_index for viewer stream B (not rotated to NULL yet): 4.1) observes a non-NULL rstream->trace_chunk, updates the viewer session current trace chunk to *a new copy* of the non-NULL rstream->trace_chunk (viewer_session_set_trace_chunk_copy). 4.2) the comparison (conn->viewer_session->current_trace_chunk != vstream->stream_file.trace_chunk) done by pointer don't match, because the viewer session current trace chunk is a new copy. Therefore, due to those stream close scenarios where the viewer session can go back and forth between NULL and _different copies_ of the relay chunk, we cannot use a comparison of chunks by address on the viewer chunks. Solution ======== Compare the viewer stream chunks by ID rather than address. Known drawbacks =============== The comparison is probably slightly slower, but I don't expect this to be significant.
