Bug #79412 Opcache chokes and uses 100% CPU on specific script
Submitted: 2020-03-25 05:51 UTC Modified: 2020-03-25 11:30 UTC

Status: Closed Package: opcache
PHP Version: 7.4.4 OS: Debian 10 (amd64)
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
I observed several non-responding FPM worker processes using 100% CPU. Attaching gdb and printing a stack trace indicated that the issue might be with opcache. In /proc/PID/fd, it could be seen that all affected processes had opened a specific file. Disabling opcache or blacklisting the file worked around the problem.

By trial and error, I removed lines from the problematic file in order to produce a short test script. The code is not runnable any more, but it's small and still causes the problem. (In the original code, all referenced variables were properly defined.)

I originally encountered this problem while using PHP 7.3.14 as supplied by Debian, so I believe 7.3 is also affected. For testing, I downloaded and compiled PHP 7.4.4 in a clean Debian 10 chroot. The configure line was "./configure --enable-debug --prefix=/opt/php/7.4.4". No changes were made to php.ini or any other file. Saving the test script as "bug.php" and running it with "php -d zend_extension=opcache.so -d opcache.enable_cli=1 bug.php" exhibits the problematic behavior.

This is a stack trace obtained after letting php run the test script for a few seconds:

@dmitry: You might want to take a look at this, I don't understand the details of the range inference algorithm well.

I think the basic issues is that

        #15.CV3($count) = Pi<BB4>(#21.CV3($count) & RANGE[-- .. #17.CV0($limitPerRun) - 1])

narrows the range when $limitPerRun is 10, but later gets expanded to the full range, at which point we're doing to start incrementing the range one by one (because we're using a narrowing meet at this point).

But I can't really tell what the root problem here is.
