Segmentation fault in enqueue() when using multithreading on Xavier (DDPX)

Hi,

I get a segmentation fault when I have 2 threads running one DNN each via TRT on Xavier (DDPX). The segfault happens when both threads reach the nvinfer1::enqueue() exactly at the same time.

Here’s the backtrace of the segfaulted thread:
#0 0x0000007f92cfe14c in ?? () from /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libcudnn.so.7

The backtrace of the other thread varies in content. For example:

#7 0x0000007f8dc782ac in ?? () from /usr/local/cuda-10.2/targets/aarch64-linux/lib/libcudart.so.10.2
#8 0x0000000000000100 in ?? ()
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)

The segfault happens only, and it’s sometimes in one thread, and sometimes in the other thread. I.e. it’s not always the same thread that segfaults.

For the record, I have followed these guidelines about thread-safety:
https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/tensorrt/best-practices/index.html#thread-safety

I have:

  • Ensured that each thread creates their own execution context (via engine_->createExecutionContext()).
  • Ensured the logger is a global variable and is thread-safe.

What is the problem? How can I debug this further?

I currently cannot share a reproducible example since 1) it’s not perfectly reproducible and 2) it’s proprietary.

Thanks!

Hi,

It looks like you are using our DRIVE platform but here is a Jetson forum.
Please file your issue here to get a proper support:

Thanks.

Thanks, I don’t know how it ended up in the wrong Forum. I meant to post in the “TensorRT Forum”, I think it’s more suitable.

I moved it now, feel free to delete this post!
