qBT 3.0.10 >500MB cache size can trigger crash + hashfails

Post by Switeck »

When qBT 3.0.10 reaches ~530 MB ram used, I get this weird error message:
13/07/2013 04:57:34 - Reason: Torrent file () error: Not enough space
13/07/2013 04:57:34 - An I/O error occured, 'Torrent' paused.
(Note: 'Torrent' is not actually the name of the torrent in question.)

As I tried to open the Options as qBT reached the ~530 MB ram usage limit, I got this crash:
http://www.imagebam.com/image/4431e4265215622
http://www.imagebam.com/image/beb21b265215629
http://www.imagebam.com/image/852a6d265215630

This seems to be the result of me setting qBT's write/read cache to 1000 MB size coupled with my fast upload speed of 600 KB/sec.
Neither the weird error message nor the crash occurred with the cache set to <400 MB.

The qBT 3.1.0alpha builds also exhibit this bug:
http://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php/topi ... ml#msg7138

Strangely, qBT 3.0.9 experiences this bug as well, but only once it exceeds ~1600 MB ram used.
This required me setting qBT 3.0.9's cache to 1800 MB.

Remote peers may receive bad pieces as a result of this bug, as this logfile from another BT client of qBT's behavior shows:

@d0cent

Can you translate the russian(?) error in your image?

Also what OS, qbittorrent version and system specs?

The error is ERROR_NOACCESS (0x3E6) - Invalid access to memory location.

I've tried reproducing without success.

As I discussed with Switeck via email, it could be a 2GB limitation on 32bit apps/os. Maybe they are hitting one of these limits, especially the ones about paged/non-paged pool.

Or in fact a genuine bug. I wonder why, our stacktrace window isn't getting triggered :S

The easiest way to test for this is to use qBT as a seeder to another BT client running as a peer/downloader on the same computer.
Barring running another BT client on the same computer, run another BT client on another computer on the same 100 mbit/sec network.
Wifi might work as well, but the considerably slower and unreliable speeds it gives will likely take longer to trigger the bug.
I only triggered the bug with my ~600 KiB/sec total upload speed internet connection because I had >40 peers requesting vastly different parts of a giant torrent, which the cache did considerable read-aheads -- possibly even grabbing whole 4 MB pieces when the peers were only asking for <1 MB at a time.

You'll need a torrent of >1 GB size, since qBT's cache cannot fill up unless the torrent is >500 MB in size.

It might be possible to trigger the bug with much smaller torrents if you had enough active at once, thus ruling out individual torrent size being greater than 2 GB as a cause.

During my tests leading up to the crashes...

Page Pool for qBT 3.0.10 is only about 120 K. Non-Page Pool balloons rapidly from ~9 K to ~1,300 K right before the error and/or crash.
Total Page Pool size at time of error/crash is ~1,800 K. Total Non-Page Pool is ~1600 K.
qBT's Handles, Threads, User Objects, and GDI Objects seem to remain relatively constant and low from start-up of qBT till the error and/or crash.
While even qBT 3.0.9 did not exceed the 2 GB ram usage limit, I had no expectation that it would given the settings I was using regardless of crashes.
Likewise, qBT 3.0.10 and later didn't even get close to 1 GB ram used.
My computer's free ram and free swapfile space is easily great enough through these tests that I do not have a general windows out-of-memory error, but (even if total ram free was the issue) qBT's size when the error/crash occurs would not be so predictable.
Even the exact error signature offset and exception information address in the screenshots remains remarkably consistent from crash-to-crash.

Win 7 64bit, qbt 3.0.10. 8 Gb RAM
it's 3.0.10 bug (or libtorrent) because after downgrading to 3.0.9 I see no errors.

I've tried reproducing this with latest RC_0_16 branch and 0.16.10 using 64-bit binary w/o any success. Perhaps it only happens with 32-bit binary.
3.0.9 - > 3.0.10 diff is not very large, so I can read it. Cache timer is manageable only in master branch, so it's not the case.

Sledge, can you try making a 3.0.10 with https://code.google.com/p/libtorrent/is ... 4087592961 reverted or 3.0.9 with latest libtorrent?

What's the diff between 32bit builds and 64bit builds? Or differences in how they're compiled?

I'll be honest I haven't tried a 32bit build since the 64bit builds started but the 32bit builds (from sledgehammer) kept giving me some sort of I/O error if that was ever solved or not. I don't think it was RAM related at all though.

3.0.10 64bit version dont have this bug. Any of bugs displayed on my screenshot. No "Invalid access to memory ", no "not enough space".

There's no big difference except the architecture itself. It might be that x86_64 is still affected by the bug, but since OS limits on native 64-bit applications' memory pools are almost unreachable in daily usage (and typical desktop config), nobody is able to reproduce with 64-bit binary.

My best bet is still libtorrent changes to disk cache between 16.9 and 16.10.

In my experience from your latest stable 64 bit build, if anything I thought they "got it right" with disk cache in libtorrent 16.10 because I've seen less memory usage, or it actually reduces periodically instead of continuously adding. "LIBTORRENT: Cache can now be returned to the OS (0.16.10)"

But anyway, I'm off topic in this thread so just making my own observation.

BTW, disk write cache set to 128MB on mine.

Yes, I provide builds.

qbittorrent_3.1.0alpha_22072013_setup.exe
Triggered same familiar error at ~530 MB ram used:
22/07/2013 05:48:14 - Reason: Torrent file () error: Not enough space
22/07/2013 05:48:14 - An I/O error occurred, 'Torrent' paused.

qbittorrent_3.1.0alpha_22072013+lb_reverted_r8171_setup.exe
Did not get the not enough space or I/O error.
Instead it always crashed at ~1640 MB ram used.

Crash screenshots:

1st crash was nothing fancy, just let it run at whatever speed it could manage.
2nd crash was limited to 10 MB/sec speed.
3rd crash was limited to 10 MB/sec speed, and I tried to open the Options window as it reached ~1640 MB ram used. qBT crashed+disappeared, Dr Watson left running afterwords.
4th crash was without speed limits.
5th crash demonstrated the crash could happen even when limited to 1 MB/sec.

In Windows XP's Administrative Tools, Event Viewer, Application, I saw these messages:
