zmtrigger - Variable is not a string in Memory Mapped

Posted: Sat Jan 10, 2015 2:43 pm

My zmtrigger is exiting randomly - usually every 5-20mins with the following:

variable is not a string at /usr/share/perl/5.18.2/ZoneMinder/Memory/Mapped.pm line 125.

The line in question is: if ( ! munmap( ${$monitor->{MMap}} ) ) {


I have no idea what's triggering it. It doesn't seem to be related external events coming into zmtrigger but I can't be more specific at the moment - logging hasn't offered anything.. zmtrigger seems to work until it crashes.

If you search for this bug on the forums its been around since 1.24 and is complained about in most versions. What can we do to fix it?

I tried to investigate this once, to no avail.

You could try adding a logging statement before that line to see what $monitor->MMAP is.

Something like Warn( "MMAP is $$monitor{MMAP}" );

That resulted in this:

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl/5.18.2/ZoneMinder/Memory/Mapped.pm line 123.
Undefined subroutine &ZoneMinder::Memory::Mapped::Warn called at /usr/share/perl/5.18.2/ZoneMinder/Memory/Mapped.pm line 123.

I don't have time to debug this further tonight but i'll dive in. I gather that the variable isn't being passed.

Code: Select all


This bug appears to be caused by the periodic reloading of Monitors by zmtrigger and the fact it calls "zmMemInvalidate" before that happens. 


sub zmMemDetach( $ )
{
        my $monitor = shift;

        if(!defined($monitor)) {
                print localtime()." Monitor not defined\n";
                return;
        }
        if(!defined($$monitor{MMAP})) {
                print localtime()." Monitor MMAP not defined with monitor $monitor\n";
                print localtime()." Dump Monitor\n";
                print Dumper($monitor);
                print "Done....\n";
                return;
        }

and in zmtrigger:

        if ( (time() - $monitor_reload_time) > MONITOR_RELOAD_INTERVAL )
        {
            foreach my $monitor ( values(%monitors) )
        {
            # Free up any used memory handle
            print localtime()." zmMemInvalidate for $monitor\n";
            zmMemInvalidate( $monitor );
        }
                loadMonitors();
        }


This results in...

You are using a intranet, so first we need to guess another password to get into your system ;)
