Hello,
I tried running this:
guix build --max-jobs=200 $(guix gc -R $(guix build -d inkscape --no-grafts) | sort) & \
guix build --max-jobs=200 $(guix gc -R $(guix build -d inkscape --no-grafts) | sort -r)
… also in parallel with this (for good measure):
guix build --max-jobs=200 $(guix gc -R $(guix build -d inkscape --no-grafts) | sort -R)
Since we have 3 clients, that leads to 3 guix-daemon processes, and
those are stuck in a deadlock:

So for example:
• 20501 tries to acquire
aasfcliv85frq3aawpa4rw18nvlvl735-gettext-minimal-0.19.8.1.lock,
which is held by 20503;
• 20503 tries to acquire
amcs7l0ynj1qg6fp9ll3asiamd4zsq75-m4-1.4.18.lock, which is held by
20501.
This comes from the fact that ‘LocalStore::buildPaths’ takes the
user-supplied derivation list as is, without sorting it, and then
acquires locks in that order in ‘Worker::run’.
A topological sort (or maybe an alphanumeric sort?) should allow us to
guarantee that guix-daemon processes take locks in the same order, and
then don’t end up in a deadlock.
I discovered this bug while monitoring Cuirass on berlin: several
sessions submit batches of 200 derivations in ‘build-paths’ RPCs, and
sometimes most of the corresponding guix-daemon processes would end up
being stuck in a lock-acquiring loop.

A very palpable deadlock.

Hi,
ludo@gnu.org (Ludovic Courtès) skribis:

This diagnostic is incorrect: ‘Goals’ is a set sorted according to
‘CompareGoalPtrs’, which is lexical sort that arranges so substitution
goals come before derivation goals. Thus, ‘_topGoals’ and ‘awake2’ in
Worker::run are sorted in a deterministic fashion.
The problem is that ‘Worker::waitForAWhile’ reshuffles the order of
goals by temporarily moving goals out of the way. This can happen when
offloading replies “postpone”, which is inherently non-deterministic
(which goals are put to sleep will vary from one session to another
session.)
When those goals are eventually woken up from ‘Worker::waitForInput’,
they’re reprocessed, in sorted order, but potentially with “holes”
compared to other ‘guix-daemon’ processes.
That’s only a partial explanation; we need to go further to come up with
an actual deadlock scenario.
Ludo’.
