ipc: Handle unclean shutdowns better #32345

pull ryanofsky wants to merge 8 commits into bitcoin:master from ryanofsky:pr/ipc-stop changing 77 files +1104 −471
  1. ryanofsky commented at 8:58 pm on April 24, 2025: contributor

    This PR fixes various problems when IPC connections are broken or hang which were reported in https://github.com/bitcoin-core/libmultiprocess/issues/123, https://github.com/bitcoin-core/libmultiprocess/issues/176, and https://github.com/bitcoin-core/libmultiprocess/pull/182. The different fixes are described in commit messages.

    The first two commits of this PR update the libmultiprocess subtree including the following PRs:

    The subtree changes can be verified by running test/lint/git-subtree-check.sh src/ipc/libmultiprocess as described in developer notes and lint instructions.

    The remaining commits are:

    The new commits depend on the subtree update, and because the subtree update includes an incompatible API change, the “Use EventLoopRef” commit needs to be part of the same PR to avoid breaking the build. The other commits also make sense to merge at the same time because the bitcoin & libmultiprocess changes were written and tested together.

    This PR is part of the process separation project.

    🚧 At least one of the CI tasks failed. Debug: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/runs/41118314270

    Try to run the tests locally, according to the documentation. However, a CI failure may still happen due to a number of reasons, for example:

    • Possibly due to a silent merge conflict (the changes in this pull request being incompatible with the current code in the target branch). If so, make sure to rebase on the latest commit of the target branch.

    • A sanitizer issue, which can only be found by compiling with the sanitizer and running the affected test.

    • An intermittent issue.

    Leave a comment here, if you need help tracking down a confusing failure.

    I tested this PR by rebasing #29409 on top of it and running my (updated) core_bdk_wallet against it.

    I found that bitcoin-node will (still) segfault if i try to stop it while the client is running. The steps i followed were to 1) start bitcoin-node 2) start my PoC which will connect to it and stall with the open connection for 6 seconds 3) before the 6 seconds have elapsed, stop the bitcoin-node process (in this specific case by sending it a SIGINT). Here are the logs of the bitcoin-node process:

    re: #32345 (comment)

    I found that bitcoin-node will (still) segfault if i try to stop it while the client is running.

    Thanks for testing this! I created a new issue in https://github.com/bitcoin-core/libmultiprocess/issues/176 to help debug. So far I couldn’t reproduce the problem running a very basic client there, but I can try to extend it to do more of the operations your client is doing and see if I can make the problem happen. It would also help to have a stack trace from the segfault, and I provided instructions for getting a stack trace there.

    🚧 At least one of the CI tasks failed. Task multiprocess, i686, DEBUG: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/runs/44074743936 LLM reason (✨ experimental): The CI failure is caused by a compile error due to an unheld mutex lock in src/ipc/libmultiprocess/src/mp/proxy.cpp.

    Try to run the tests locally, according to the documentation. However, a CI failure may still happen due to a number of reasons, for example:

    • Possibly due to a silent merge conflict (the changes in this pull request being incompatible with the current code in the target branch). If so, make sure to rebase on the latest commit of the target branch.

    • A sanitizer issue, which can only be found by compiling with the sanitizer and running the affected test.

    🚧 At least one of the CI tasks failed. Task multiprocess, i686, DEBUG: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/runs/44704578313 LLM reason (✨ experimental): The CI failure is due to a test timeout during execution.

    Try to run the tests locally, according to the documentation. However, a CI failure may still happen due to a number of reasons, for example:

    • Possibly due to a silent merge conflict (the changes in this pull request being incompatible with the current code in the target branch). If so, make sure to rebase on the latest commit of the target branch.

    • A sanitizer issue, which can only be found by compiling with the sanitizer and running the affected test.

    • An intermittent issue.

    Leave a comment here, if you need help tracking down a confusing failure.

  53. Merge commit 'ca509dd2b91385294c837a5d264b10a29ebb0bc8' into pr/ipc-stop-base b6bd3ddf56
  54. ipc: Use EventLoopRef instead of addClient/removeClient 
    Use EventLoopRef to avoid reference counting bugs and be more exception safe
and deal with removal of addClient/removeClient methods in
https://github.com/bitcoin-core/libmultiprocess/pull/160

A test update is also required due to
https://github.com/bitcoin-core/libmultiprocess/pull/160 to deal with changed
reference count semantics. In IpcPipeTest(), it is now necessary to destroy
the client Proxy object instead of just the client Connection object to
decrease the event loop reference count and allow the loop to exit so the test
does not hang on shutdown.
    f8fd3959d5
  55. test: Add unit test coverage for Init and Shutdown code 
    Currently this code is not called in unit tests. Calling should make it
possible to write tests for things like IPC exceptions being thrown during
shutdown.

  56. ipc: Avoid waiting for clients to disconnect when shutting down 
    This fixes behavior reported by Antoine Poinsot <darosior@protonmail.com>
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29409#issuecomment-2546088852 where if
an IPC client is connected, the node will wait forever for it to disconnect
before exiting.
    ff1c9278e7
  57. doc: Improve IPC interface comments 
    Fix some comments that were referring to previous versions of these methods and
did not make sense.
    d37b740047
  58. ipc: Add Ctrl-C handler for spawned subprocesses 
    This fixes an error reported by Antoine Poinsot <darosior@protonmail.com> in
https://github.com/bitcoin-core/libmultiprocess/issues/123 that does not happen
in master, but does happen with https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10102
applied, where if Ctrl-C is pressed when `bitcoin-node` is started, it is
handled by both `bitcoin-node` and `bitcoin-wallet` processes, causing the
wallet to shutdown abruptly instead of waiting for the node and shutting down
cleanly.

This change fixes the problem by having the wallet process print to stdout when
it receives a Ctrl-C signal but not otherwise react, letting the node shut
everything down cleanly.
    008f4ae01e
  59. ipc: Handle bitcoin-wallet disconnections 
    This fixes an error reported by Antoine Poinsot <darosior@protonmail.com> in
https://github.com/bitcoin-core/libmultiprocess/issues/123 that does not happen
in master, but does happen with https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10102
applied, where if the child bitcoin-wallet process is killed (either by an
external signal or by Ctrl-C as reported in the issue) the bitcoin-node process
will not shutdown cleanly after that because chain client stop()
calls will fail.

This change fixes the problem by handling ipc::Exception errors thrown during
the stop() calls, and it relies on the fixes to disconnect detection
implemented in https://github.com/bitcoin-core/libmultiprocess/pull/160 to work
effectively.

    If there is no parent connection does that mean for sure there are no other incoming connections? The implication on line 68 is that the first incoming connection is always the parent process which skips its removal.

    Built and tested on macos/arm64, reviewed each commit. Adds a unit test for node initialization, refactors IPC on some upstream changes in libmultiprocess, and ensures a clean shutdown when IPC clients are connected. I’m going to locally rebase #32297 on this and try to break it again but I suspect it’ll hold up a lot better.
