Pageout assertion failure

    • Type: Icon: Task Task
    • Resolution: Done
    • WT2.2
    • Affects Version/s: None
    • Component/s: None

      There have been several identical failures with test/format in the last few days. The assertion failure is:

      [1394651873:827368][4023:008723da987f0000], t, file:wt.wt, cursor.update: ../src/btree/bt_discard.c, 45: !F_ISSET_ATOMIC(page, WT_PAGE_EVICT_LRU)
      

      If you look at Jenkins job wiredtiger-test-format-stress, jobs 3577, 3583 and 3585 all failed with this assertion. I'm running the configs from 3585 and 3577 and it is not readily reproducing, although this number of failures seems to indicate it is fairly regular.

      The stack is:

      The page in question:

      (gdb) p/x *page
      $2 = {parent = 0x0, ref = 0x0, u = {intl = {recno = 0x1e15e, 
            t = 0x7f98b8045b38}, row = {d = 0x1e15e, ins = 0x7f98b8045b38, 
            upd = 0x0}, col_fix = {recno = 0x1e15e, bitf = 0x7f98b8045b38}, 
          col_var = {recno = 0x1e15e, d = 0x7f98b8045b38, repeats = 0x0, 
            nrepeats = 0x0}}, dsk = 0x0, modify = 0x7f98b8047380, read_gen = 0x4eb, 
        memory_footprint = 0x552, entries = 0x1b, type = 0x3, flags_atomic = 0x8}
      

      The WT_PAGE_EVICT_LRU flag is set only in _evict_init_candidate called from _evict_walk_file, but the page is not in the cache->evict array. So it seems it might be leftover from an earlier walk and somewhere the flag is not getting cleared.
