Created attachment 23963 [details] Test program. Link with -lpthread -lX11 The attached application (which is typical for openGL multithread apps), but with the openGL stuff stripped deadlocks immediately when started with an XCB-enabled xlib, but works fine with a non-XCB-enabled xlib. Some of the multithreaded mesa openGL demos (glthreads, sharedtex_mt) exhibit the same problems.

Created attachment 44413 [details] Sample code to trigger the deadlock
Hi, after upgrading to openSUSE 11.4 I see similar deadlocks when using xine-ui. I've attached a much simpler sample programme which triggers the deadlock immediately on my system. If the programme deadlocks, you'll most likely only see .T on the console. If it doesn't deadlock, you'll get .T.T.T and so on. Depending on the number of CPU cores, the output may be ...TTT or something like that too. Bye.
Created attachment 44414 [details] [review] Proposed patch which fixes Reinhard Nißl's test case for me I haven't tested this against Thomas Hellström's test case, but since that one doesn't contain any calls to XLockDisplay(), I think that's another problem (Sorry for stealing this bug report). Also, sorry for the weird commit message, but I couldn't come up with something better. If anyone has a good idea, feel free to replace the commit message.
I hadn't noticed Uli's patch yet, but I committed a patch with the same effect today. Hopefully libX11 master now works for Thomas and Reinhard. Please re-open otherwise. (Sorry for not giving you credit in the commit message, Uli; I would have if I'd seen this first.)
Created attachment 44621 [details] Sample code to trigger the stall
Hi, I'm not sure whether the fix is correct as it triggers a new symptom in xine-ui and the new sample xcb_test2.c. The issue is now, that some thread stalls, i. e. it waits "indefinitely" for a reply, like in this backtrace Thread 2: (gdb) thread apply all bt Thread 4 (Thread 0x7fd74409e700 (LWP 23059)): #0 pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/pthread_cond_wait.S:162 #1 0x00007fd744c82970 in _XDisplayLockWait (dpy=0x603070) at locking.c:447 #2 0x00007fd744c82fd9 in _XLockDisplay (dpy=0x603070) at locking.c:462 #3 0x00007fd744c8690f in XPending (dpy=0x603070) at Pending.c:51 #4 0x0000000000400f28 in vdpau_thread3 (param=0x603070) at xcb_test2.c:41 #5 0x00007fd744a37a3f in start_thread (arg=0x7fd74409e700) at pthread_create.c:297 #6 0x00007fd74479767d in clone () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/clone.S:112 #7 0x0000000000000000 in ??

The threads do not deadlock and the programme can go on if events appear. In xine-ui I can for example move the mouse over the window or press a key. For the sample programme I've found that switching to a different virtual desktop and back gets it going again. I must admit that I'm hardly used to X coding, so I think the sample can easily be adjusted so that a mouse move or something like that recovers it. The output of the sample programme on my Core i7 965 (4 cores / 8 virtual CPUs) looks like that (stock openSUSE 11.4 + https://build.opensuse.org/package/binary?arch=x86_64&filename=xorg-x11-libX11-7.6-53.1.x86_64.rpm&package=xorg-x11-libX11&project=X11%3AXOrg&repository=openSUSE_11.4 as mentioned here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679177#c1): LTeLeETLLLeTLeETLTLeTLeTLELTeLeTLETLeLLLLeTLETLLTeLeTLELTLeTLeETLeTLLeLETLeeETLLLeeTLETLeeTLELTLeeETLTeLeETeLeTLETLeeTLTLTLLETLLTeLeTLETLTLeTLeETLeLeTLETLeETLeeTLeETLTeLeETLeLeTLELTLeTLeETLeLeTLETLLTeLeTLETLLTeLeTLELTLeLLeLETLeETLeLeTLeETLeTLeTLELTLeLeTLETLeETLeTLeeTLELTeLeTLETLLeLLeTLETLTeLeETLeETLeTLeTLeETLeTLeETLeLeTLELTLeTLeETLTLeLeTLELTTLeTLeTLETLLTLeTLeTLTLETLLLLeLLLeTLETLLTeLLLLLLLLeTLLETLLTeLLeTLLETLLTTe The output stopps when then stall happens and continues when it recovers.

We have experienced the same erroneous multithreading behavior in conjunction w/ OpenGL and Xlib, <https://jogamp.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=502>. I have tried out the latest git for libX11 and libxcb as well, no remedy. Using the old libX11 1.3 and libxcb 1.5 works well though. IMHO bug 30450 is a duplicate of this one.
