Error description

  • Probe Id          :- XC130003
    Component         :- xehExceptionHandler
    Comment1          :- SIGSEGV: address not mapped
    .
    The trace history in the FDC file shows that the WebSphere MQ
    client code was in the middle of a call to the server.  At that
    time it was interrupted and a new call was attempted from
    application code into WebSphere MQ's API.  (The API includes
    calls to WebSphere MQ's XA functions).  This was the sequence:
    .
     -{ MQGET
    
     ...
    
     --{ MakeCall
     ...
    
     ---{ ccxReceive
    
     ----{ cciTcpReceive
    
     -----{ ccxAllocMem
    
     -----} ccxAllocMem rc=OK
    
     -----{ recv
     -----} recv rc=Unknown(FFFF)
     -----{ xcsWaitFd
     ------{ poll
     -------{ XAEnd        <--------- New call through MQ's API
     --------{ MakeCall
     ---------{ ccxAllocMem
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    Applications using the WebSphere MQ Extended Transactional
    Client that have handlers installed that might get control while
    in the middle of a WebSphere MQ API call.
    
    Platforms affected:
    All Distributed (iSeries, all Unix and Windows)
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM SUMMARY:
    While this interrupting and calling into the API is not correct
    use of WebSphere MQ's API it should still be handled more
    gracefully.  A SIGSEGV should not be generated.  The more
    desirable behaviour is for our xa_end call to fail, returning
    with rc=XAER_PROTO.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Improved checking has been added to the WebSphere MQ code so
    that incorrect calls through the API (eg. from handlers that get
    control while an existing API call is in progress) are rejected
    with a sensible return code.
