Sentinel segmentation fault after running voxl-uvc-server -v [camera id] -d
-
You can stop the systemd service for
voxl-uvc-serverusing the following command:systemctl stop voxl-uvc-server
this will stop the service / server but will not prevent it from auto-starting during next rebootThen you can run the
voxl-uvc-serverin foreground. Just run it with the normal arguments:voxl-uvc-server <your additional arguments here>Confirm that this still crashes.. then run the same executable in gdb:
> gdb /usr/bin/voxl-uvc-server (gdb) r <your additional arguments here> ... wait for crash... ... btbtcommand in gdb will print the backtrace of the call stack and will tell you which function the seg fault happened in (and you will see the call stack). Maybe this will help with debugging.Alex
@Alex-Kushleyev I can probably show you the backtrace log so that you can take a look at what causes the segfault.

@Róbert-Dévényi @Eric-Katzfey @Alex-Kushleyev I am getting the same seg fault with a boson+ camera. I determined that the seg fault occurs when the uvc_start_streaming function is called (I am running a modified version of voxl-uvc-server). I have the stack trace from gdb. If I figure out the cause of the problem I will post it here.

It seem there is a bug in libuvc which has been fixed, but we are using older version of the library.
Inserting the following check at the line below has been reported to fix the issue:
if (strmh->got_bytes + data_len > strmh->cur_ctrl.dwMaxVideoFrameSize) { UVC_DEBUG("Transfer too large and will overflow the buffer. Dropping data!"); _uvc_swap_buffers(strmh); return; }here: https://github.com/modalai/libuvc/blob/3fb2d2fd31f215f76bd5d6782785385fd0927ce5/src/stream.c#L757
It seems the fix in the official libuvc release is here:
https://github.com/libuvc/libuvc/blob/master/src/stream.c#L779
https://github.com/libuvc/libuvc/blob/master/src/stream.c#L787We have not fixed this officially, please look at the code snippet i provided official fix and implement something similar until we fix it.

Thanks @Alex-Kushleyev . Do you know if there are any differences between using the voxl fork of libuvc vs compiling the master libuvc? I was thinking of just building the master libuvc but I am not sure if modalai did any changes to it.

@AndriiHlyvko , you can see the changes that we made to the original fork : https://github.com/modalai/libuvc/commits/modalai-master (just the three top commits).
You may definitely try to use the latest master from the official repo, but we have not tested it. I believe there was some discussion recently about moving our code to latest, but we have not done it yet.

@Alex-Kushleyev just tested with latest master. The seg fault is gone and it seems to be working fine. One new problem that I have after moving to libuvc master is that the video stream from the boson+ looks wrong (the video is green
). Its only wrong for boson+ and not the boson. I'll keep debugging the issue. I was thinking maybe the boson+ sends incomplete frames in the uvc callback but I'm not sure. -

@AndriiHlyvko , that's great!
If you are willing to help out and share your changes on top of libuvc master, it should help us get this updated more quickly
Thank you

@Alex-Kushleyev sure. Should I make a merge request for it and tag you in it?

I just ran into the same issue while testing Boson (in my case I was testing the 16-bit Boson streaming mode). The libuvc issue caused a crash, since i did not use a fixed version of libuvc. However, what actually caused the buffer overflow was the fact that Boson was reporting smaller buffer requirements for RAW16 during query (it was reporting
width * height * 1.5, just like for YUV, but actual frame size waswidth * height * 2, so uvc pipeline allocated smaller buffer and overflow happened with the full frame came in.Was this the same issue with your Boson tests or did you experience something else?
Thanks!
