Crash Dump Analysis Patterns (Part 9a)

Next pattern is Deadlock. If you don’t know what “deadlock” is read Dumps for Dummes (Part 4). Deadlocks do not only happen with synchronization primitives like mutexes, events or more complex objects (built upon primitives) like critical sections or executive resources (ERESOURCE). They can happen from high level or systems perspective in inter-process or inter-component communication, for example, mutually waiting on messages: GUI window messages, LPC messages, RPC calls. This is a big pattern and I’m going to split it into several parts.

How can we see deadlocks in dumps? Let’s start with user dumps and critical sections.

First I would recommend to read the following excellent MSDN article to understand various members of CRITICAL_SECTION structure:

Break Free of Code Deadlocks in Critical Sections Under Windows

WinDbg !locks command will examine process critical section list and display all locked critical sections, lock count and thread id of current critical section owner. This is the output from a dump of hanging Windows print spooler process (spoolsv.exe):

0:000> !locks CritSec NTDLL!LoaderLock+0 at 784B0348 LockCount 4 RecursionCount 1 OwningThread 624 EntryCount 6c3 ContentionCount 6c3 *** Locked

CritSec LOCALSPL!SpoolerSection+0 at 76AB8070 LockCount 3 RecursionCount 1 OwningThread 1c48 EntryCount 646 ContentionCount 646 *** Locked

If we look at threads #624 and #1c48 we could see them mutually waiting for each other:

TID#624 owns CritSec 784B0348 and is waiting for CritSec 76AB8070
TID#1c48 owns CritSec 76AB8070 and is waiting for CritSec 784B0348

This analysis looks pretty simple and easy. What about kernel and complete memory dumps? Of course we cannot see user space critical sections in kernel memory dumps but we can see them in complete memory dumps after switching to appropriate process context and using !ntsdexts.locks. This can be done via simple script adapted from debugger.chm: Deadlocks and Critical Sections

Why it is so easy to see deadlocks when critical sections are involved? Because their structures have a member that records their owner. So it is very easy to map them to corresponding threads. The same is with kernel ERESOURCE synchronization objects (we will see them in the next part). Other objects do not have an owner, for example, in case of events it is not so easy to find an owner just by looking at an event object. You need to examine thread call stacks, other structures or have access to source code.

Hi Dmitry,

First i would like to appreciate your effort, i never ever seen such a dump analysis web site. Please let me know how can i share my thought also.
Currently i am facing one problem in locking thread. You have taken example of two thread locking, but if three or more thread getting lock then how we can identify which thread waiting for which critical section.
Ex.-
0:005> !locks

CritSec netiqms!__onexitbegin+50cbc at 006f1da8
WaiterWoken No
LockCount 49
RecursionCount 1
OwningThread 19a4
EntryCount 0
ContentionCount 2a51
*** Locked

CritSec netiqms!__onexitbegin+5131c at 006f2408
WaiterWoken No
LockCount 0
RecursionCount 1
OwningThread 10f4
EntryCount 0
ContentionCount 0
*** Locked

CritSec +6e8827c at 06e8827c
WaiterWoken No
LockCount 0
RecursionCount 1
OwningThread 19a4
EntryCount 0
ContentionCount 0
*** Locked

Scanned 2404 critical sections

Please let me know how can i explain above thread locking.
please suggest me if any book or help available to figure out or analyze dump.

Thanks in advance.

Krishna

Hi Krishna,

In the example you provided you have only one critical section which blocks other threads:

BlockedThreads = LockCount - (RecursionCount - 1) = 49 - (1 - 1)

CritSec netiqms!__onexitbegin+50cbc at 006f1da8
WaiterWoken No
LockCount 49
RecursionCount 1
OwningThread 19a4
EntryCount 0
ContentionCount 2a51
*** Locked

So here you can examine thread’s call stack 19a4 by looking at ~*kv output and find other waiting threads by searching for critical section address: 006f1da8

All other two critical sections are being held by OwningThread and there are no waiting threads for them (no need to worry about them):

BlockedThreads = LockCount - (RecursionCount - 1) = 0 - (1 - 1) = 0

Therefore, the rule of thumb is to look at LockCount values.

Thanks,
Dmitry

There is also !cs WinDbg extension where !cs -l lists all locked sections with stack traces and !cs -t shows critical section tree. For the latter you need to enable Application Verifier using gflags.exe or set 0×100 in registry for your image:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options
GlobalFlag=0×00000100

Hello, Dmitry!

Thank you for your blog! It helps me very much

One question for this article… Is there any way to walk through the situation if
thread-owner of critical section is already dead and absent in call-stack?

Dmitry Vostokov Says:

Thanks! I tried in the past and what I found is that virtual memory for TEB was decommitted already and therefore no data for that stack start address and its limit was available. I might guess that stack region itself is decommitted during thread termination so we cannot use memory search here to find its raw stack data. Perhaps some test application might clarify here.

Live debugging might help here with scripts to set conditional breakpoints and saving dumps automatically upon some condition. This is interesting and I will explore it in some detail in my future posts.

Hi,

I’m trying to figure out the problem described above - the thread owning the (user-mode loader lock) critical section isn’t around any more, so the threads waiting on it aren’t going to wake up any time soon. You said you’d explore it further - did you get a chance to do so yet?

Thanks.

[…] When a process experienced an unhandled exception what were the possible reasons for a postmortem debugger not saving a crash dump? One of them will be illustrated in this post. The process AppA was hanging and causing another process AppB to hang too (see Coupled Processes pattern). If we look at AppA locked critical sections we would see a loader deadlock: […]

Could you share me more about the deadlock caused by critical section and kernel object?
How to debug into this scenario？
For example,
ThreadA:
EnterCriticalSection1
WaitForSingleObject2 (Event)

ThreadB:
EnterCriticalSection1
Event Reset/Activate

now, if threada get run firstly, enter critical section1, but need to wait the event, threadb want to reset the event, but need to require access to critical section.

how to detect such deadlock in the dump file?

You might have corrupt critical section list.

http://www.dumpanalysis.org/blog/index.php/2008/07/11/crash-dump-analysis-patterns-part-71/

Try also !cs -l -o -s command. Sometimes if you dump all sections you can see where corruption starts like !locks -v or !cs

Often, we can preliminary suppose a critical section deadlock if all locked critical section owner threads are waiting for critical sections (as seen from !cs -l -o -s WinDbg command output and corresponding stack traces, k or !thread).
