Auto-assigned to maintainer gecko@FreeBSD.org Hello, is there any relation to Bug 196667? The patch here didn't land yet because I need to - test it doesn't introduce regressions unlike Andriy's version (IIRC) - decouple from unrelated Mozilla bug 1021761 - file an upstream bug and try to scrutinize out the rationale for changes (In reply to jakub_lach from comment #2) > Hello, is there any relation to Bug 196667? To rule out the bug here you can rebuild audio/alsa-plugins with BUFSZ_P2 enabled (default) or switch to PULSEAUDIO in www/firefox. As I have BUFSZ_P2 enabled in alsa-plugins, looks like my problem, albeit going at the times through cubeb_alsa.c too, is something different. Thanks for the pointer! Just BUFSZ_P2 enabled doesn't give enough confidence. Also try to - comment out EXTRA_PATCHES in audio/alsa-plugins/Makefile - switch to non-default alsa-plugin (e.g. jack or pulse) in ~/.asoundrc A commit references this bug: Author: jbeich Date: Fri Feb 6 12:08:47 UTC 2015 New revision: 378529 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/378529 Log: Fix crashes with ALSA e.g., when disabling BUFSZ_P2 in alsa-plugins PR: 196051 Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D1788 Submitted by: mi Approved by: bapt (mentor) Changes: head/UPDATING head/mail/thunderbird/Makefile head/mail/thunderbird/files/patch-bug1130155 head/www/firefox/Makefile head/www/firefox/files/patch-bug1130155 head/www/firefox-esr/Makefile head/www/firefox-esr/files/patch-bug1130155 head/www/libxul/Makefile head/www/libxul/files/patch-bug1130155 head/www/seamonkey/Makefile head/www/seamonkey/files/patch-bug1130155 Comitted. Thanks. Just for posterity. Some time after I posted my patch I determined that my problems were caused by a kernel bug that result in random userland pages getting zeroed out. After the kernel bug was fixed I stopped using any extra firefox patches and never saw the problem again. My alsa libraries came from the official FreeBSD package repository, so all options were at default values. FWIW, I've replicated the 196667 after this patch too. The crash in Bug 196667 seems in Gstreamer-interface, not here. Whatever the problem is there, I doubt it is related one way or the other. It was confounding issue for me, as I think I got both crashes with firefox-nightly, but couldn't know, as firefox-nightly doesn't work for me at all if compiled with debug. Anyway, I'm really happy that's fixed. Thanks!
