With this change, three ULTs in pool and container code launched via ds_pool_thread_collective() are changed to specify a larger ("deep") stack size of 64KiB rather than a default 16KiB stack size. i.e., the flags parameter specified as DSS_ULT_DEEP_STACK. The three ULT function entrypoints are:
cont_open_one, cont_snap_update_one,and update_vos_prop_on_targets.

Before this change, intermittently in CI testing, shortly after daos_engine startup, a dmg pool list (pool query on the back end) would occasionally result in a segmentation fault in an engine, in these three particular areas of the code. Specifically, the faults occurred within the ABT thread create, inside ABTI_mem_pool_alloc().

This change is based on a guess that the stack size parameter may have some effect.

Features: pool container test_engine_restart

Before requesting gatekeeper:

  • Two review approvals and any prior change requests have been resolved.
  • Testing is complete and all tests passed or there is a reason documented in the PR why it should be force landed and forced-landing tag is set.
  • Features: (or Test-tag*) commit pragma was used or there is a reason documented that there are no appropriate tags for this PR.
  • Commit messages follows the guidelines outlined here.
  • Any tests skipped by the ticket being addressed have been run and passed in the PR.

Gatekeeper:

  • You are the appropriate gatekeeper to be landing the patch.
  • The PR has 2 reviews by people familiar with the code, including appropriate owners.
  • Githooks were used. If not, request that user install them and check copyright dates.
  • Checkpatch issues are resolved. Pay particular attention to ones that will show up on future PRs.
  • All builds have passed. Check non-required builds for any new compiler warnings.
  • Sufficient testing is done. Check feature pragmas and test tags and that tests skipped for the ticket are run and now pass with the changes.
  • If applicable, the PR has addressed any potential version compatibility issues.
  • Check the target branch. If it is master branch, should the PR go to a feature branch? If it is a release branch, does it have merge approval in the JIRA ticket.
  • Extra checks if forced landing is requested
    • Review comments are sufficiently resolved, particularly by prior reviewers that requested changes.
    • No new NLT or valgrind warnings. Check the classic view.
    • Quick-build or Quick-functional is not used.
  • Fix the commit message upon landing. Check the standard here. Edit it to create a single commit. If necessary, ask submitter for a new summary.
