    If a wallet is loaded after being unloaded then a segfault is raised:

    Oh, the wallet does not corrupt. It’s a libevent error, but the message says that the wallet corrupts. It might because I open so many connections at a short period of time, restart bitcoind fix the problem. Does not related to this PR

    Is this related to the libevent error?

    Probobly the wallet would fail to close after the libevent error. Restart the node fix the issue.

    There seems to be a bug where if you run loadwallet <wallet> and then unloadwallet <wallet>, <wallet> isn’t removed from the dropdown menu (if you call unloadwallet <wallet> on a wallet that was loaded at startup, it is removed.)

    In general, the GUI doesn’t seem to recognise unloading wallets that were loaded dynamically.

    Incorrect comment 😪
  37. promag commented at 1:38 am on June 7, 2018: member

    @jnewbery thanks the review and testing. I believe I’ve addressed all your comments.

    wallet_model->moveToThread(thread()); was missing in the previous version which messed some QObject::connect.

    Also, calling RPC stop either with bitcoin-qt or bitcoind caused a segfault, now fixed.

    ACK on the unloadwallet usage calling without an argument defaults to the wallet referenced by the request URL?

    0GUI: QObject::connect: Cannot queue arguments of type 'QVector<int>'
    1(Make sure 'QVector<int>' is registered using qRegisterMetaType().)
    

    @jonasschnelli this error was caused by incorrect WalletModel’s thread affinity, see above.

    Should we throw an error if RemoveWallet() returns false? (so if unloadwallet is called twice in quick succession there’s no chance of UnregisterValidationInterface() being called twice for the same wallet)

    jnewbery commented at 6:44 pm on June 8, 2018:
    I’m not sure if this is desirable behaviour. Should it be possible to call unloadwallet wallet2 on wallet1’s endpoint?

    promag commented at 8:53 pm on June 8, 2018:
    So if the endpoint references a wallet then the RPC should have no arguments? If so LGTM.

    Issue QT:

    1. Start with a single (default) wallet
    2. Create or load a wallet ([default wallet] and [new_wallet] should be there in the dropdown).
    3. When [default wallet] is selected, call unloadwallet
    4. [default wallet] is still there in the RPC dropdown
    5. [default wallet] is still in the main window dropdown
    6. Selecting [default wallet] looks like one have selected [default wallet] but acctually new_wallet is selected

    nit: it’s unclear from the calls documentation that you can’t unload walletB by calling walletA-endpoint with unloadwallet walletB.

    @jonasschnelli improved documentation.

    Segfault with QT:

    1. Start with a single (default) wallet
    2. Create or load a wallet ([default wallet] and [new_wallet] should be there in the dropdown).
    3. When [new_wallet] is selected in the dropdown, call unloadwallet without any arguments

    ~I’m still debugging it but~ I wasn’t able to debug it and wanted to bring it up and see if others can reproduce.

    @PierreRochard thanks for testing. I’m able to reproduce it. After your steps (which don’t harm), call generate 1. This is due to the missing deletes in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/3f398d7a17f136cd4a67998406ca41a124ae2966/src/qt/walletview.cpp#L87-L90 which happens after https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/13111/files#diff-8c9d79ba40bf702f01685008550ac100R483. Will fix.

    @PierreRochard actually WalletView was leaking. Added a separate commit since the problem already exists in master.

    @promag, thanks for the explanation, I really like this pull request. I think we should handle the case where GetWalletNameFromJSONRPCRequest returns false and there is no wallet_name name provided. Otherwise the endpoint chokes on wallet_name = request.params[0].get_str(); and provides an unexpected error to the user

    Maybe the issue is that URI should be populated after unload/load, it currently isn’t:

    @PierreRochard it can be improved in a follow up.

    ryanofsky commented at 6:40 pm on June 25, 2018:

    What’s the reason for this call? It seems very fragile because BlockUntilSyncedToCurrentChain may try to schedule a callback, but wallets currently get deleted after the scheduler is deleted:

    https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/baf3a3ab0c63b512b37d9f753768c1f020369088/src/init.cpp#L297-L299

    I was seeing this cause a crash due to a subtle change in behavior in one of my prs, which took me a long time to debug.

    The initial idea was to avoid dangling pointers to the wallet in the validation queue. I agree that once in the deleter no more pointers to the wallet should exist. Do you suggest removing this call? Which PR are you referring?

    The initial idea was to avoid dangling pointers to the wallet in the validation queue. @promag I think it would be better to just call UnregisterValidationInterface in this case. That looks like it would remove any wallet references from the notification code without needing to block wallet deletion on the scheduler thread or run additional notification handling code.

    I agree that once in the deleter no more pointers to the wallet should exist. Do you suggest removing this call? Which PR are you referring?

    Yesterday the problem I saw was in #10973. It slightly changed the way m_last_block_processed got set during rescans leading to a new SyncWithValidationInterfaceQueue() call in SyncWithValidationInterfaceQueue that doesn’t happen in master. The SyncWithValidationInterfaceQueue call would fail with an assert error due to signal scheduler being deleted before the wallet in the init code shown above.

    Today this is causing another problem in #11625. In this case, there seems to be a race condition there where the wallet sometimes gets deleted in a qt event thread after UnloadBlockIndex gets called in another thread.
