summary: Test for bz566712 (If pthread_create fails in aio_write, requests) description: | Bug summary: If pthread_create fails in aio_write, requests linked list is corrupted Bugzilla link: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=566712 Description: Description of problem: When one calls aio_write, it internally calls __aio_enqueue_request, which will in turn call aio_create_helper_thread. If thread creation fails, the newly created request (newp in the code) will still be in the requests linked list, but it will be freed later in __aio_enqueue_request. A subsequent call to aio_write will cause a segmentation fault. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-2.5-*.el5 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: There's a test case from Neil Vachharajani in upstream bugzilla: http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=4198&action=view Actual results: If compiled -DCRASH the program segfaults. Expected results: If compiled -DCRASH the program does not segfault.
