lei.chen 00f81c5aa8 fix(testsuite): declare makeResource properly + symmetric teardown in external-skips-inuse test
bug-1979: test.c never included resobj.h, so makeResource() was an
implicitly declared function in this TU -- its 64-bit pointer return was
truncated to int (0x50b000000118 -> 0x118) and sign-extended back.
Dormant since E2 Phase 1 (the test only TEST_ASSERT_NOT_NULL'd it and
re-derived the real pointer via key_find); the leak-fix teardown's
dereference(made) was its first real use and SEGV'd under
ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=1 (the xce-build.sh all direct-run step).

- include resobj.h: makeResource now declared with its true prototype
- unmeet: memset-only -- sched_check_shared_satisfy_() xvec_idval_init()s
  it itself; the pre-init leaked the vector it replaced (2x4B per call)
- uncomitted: single xvec_init/xvec_fini pair (was init'd twice, fini'd once)
- teardown: collect-then-dereference the refcount-1 resource object, then
  destroy(resmgr), then xstring_table_fini() -- mirrors xce_sched_core_fini()
  (core.c:405)

Verified: ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=1 direct run rc=0, 17/17 PASS, zero
leak reports; xce-build.sh all green (137/137 suites + manual sched_test
+ Go tests).

sched_test: makeResource() implicitly declared -- pointer truncated, dereference SEGVs

bug-1979: makeResource() implicitly declared in sched_test -- pointer truncated, dereference SEGVs

Description

Observed: ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=1 ./scheduler/testsuite/sched_test SEGVs in dereference after all 17 tests PASS:

==659821==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: SEGV on unknown address 0x000000000258
    #0 in dereference ../subprojects/librtti/src/ref.c:31
    #1 in test_unsatisfy_external_skips_inuse_shared_leg ../scheduler/testsuite/test.c:826

Expected: the test's teardown dereference(made) releases the refcount-1 resource object registered by makeResource().

Impact: sched_test cannot run with leak detection enabled (the xce-build.sh all manual direct-run step); crashes after a clean PASS.

Found by: ASAN direct run while closing out the feature/license-resources -> working merge verification.

Environment

  • OS: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS; kernel Linux 6.8.0-147-generic x86_64
  • libc: glibc 2.39 (host ldd)
  • Toolchain: gcc (GCC) 15.2.0, meson 1.9.1
  • Build: asan (xce.build)
  • Code: working @ 9b652d93-dirty (test.c local leak-fix edit)
  • Deployment: n/a (unit test, no cluster)

Reproduction

  1. meson compile -C src/xce.build sched_test
  2. ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=1 ./src/xce.build/scheduler/testsuite/sched_test (full run or -t test_unsatisfy_external_skips_inuse_shared_leg)
  • Frequency: deterministic
  • Evidence: not kept (transient ASAN stderr; repro command above)

Root cause

test.c never includes resobj.h and has no local extern, so makeResource() is an implicitly declared function in this TU (gnu17 + this gcc emits only a warning; the build proceeds). An implicit declaration returns int: the real 64-bit pointer 0x50b000000118 is truncated to 32-bit eax (0x118) and sign-extended back (cltq visible in the disassembly right after the call makeResource), so made == 0x118 -- garbage.

The bug was introduced with the test itself (E2 Phase 1, 2fcacac2) but lay dormant: the test only ever did TEST_ASSERT_NOT_NULL(made) (0x118 != NULL always passes) and key_find-re-derived the real pointer into r for the flag overwrite. The merge-verification leak fix added dereference(made) in the teardown -- the FIRST real use of the truncated pointer -- which turned the latent defect into a SEGV.

Fix

#include "resobj.h" in src/scheduler/testsuite/test.c (the header that declares extern xce_resource_t* makeResource(var, xce_resource_t*)), plus the leak fixes that motivated the teardown: symmetric single xvec_init/xvec_fini for uncomitted, memset-only unmeet (sched_check_shared_satisfy_() xvec_idval_init()s it itself), and the collect-then-dereference teardown (dereference(made) -> destroy(core.resmgr) -> xstring_table_fini(), mirroring xce_sched_core_fini()/core.c:405).

Verification

  • Test: test_unsatisfy_external_skips_inuse_shared_leg (src/scheduler/testsuite/test.c); the SEGV itself was the RED state (deterministic, both full-run and single-test mode), GREEN after the include: rc=0, 17/17 PASS, zero leak reports under ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=1, single-test mode too.
  • Suites: meson test --suite controller 6/6 OK; full xce-build.sh all re-run pending at logging time.
  • Live: n/a (unit test only).
