TypeSupport::deserializeROSmessage(..) crashes deserialising msg published by rmw_microxrcedds
Bug report
tl;dr: rmw_fastrtps_cpp::TypeSupport::deserializeROSmessage(..) appears to attempt to resize(..) the MultiDOFJointTrajectoryPoint::transforms field to an unexpectedly large value, suggesting either serialisation errors on the rmw_microxrcedds side, or state/memory corruption or alignment issues on the rmw_fastrtps side.
'Evidence' gathered from Wireshark captures suggests serialisation errors are unlikely, as hex dumps/dissections of (XRCE-)DDS traffic appears to be as-it-should-be.
Sometimes, the crash occurs after a few messages. Other times, it takes 50 minutes or more before the crash happens.
Original: let me start by saying I was unsure as to where to post this. Either this issue tracker (ie: rmw_fastrtps) or the rmw_microxrcedds one. In the end, as I only observe the crashes in rmw_fastrtps, I decided to post here.
I realise the fact rmw_microxrcedds is involved means the problem could also be on that side, but my debugging thus far appears to suggest that's not the case (see discussion below).
Required Info:
- Operating System:
- Ubuntu Jammy (but also observed on Focal)
- Installation type:
-
apt(ie: binary)
-
- Version or commit hash:
- "latest" packages for Humble (and Galactic) as of 2022-11-03 (sorry for being so vague)
- DDS implementation:
- FastDDS on action client side,
rmw_microxrceddson action server side
- FastDDS on action client side,
- Client library (if applicable):
- so far only observed with
rclcpp(client side)
- so far only observed with
Steps to reproduce issue
I'd prefer sharing an MRE as well, but don't have one at the moment. In addition, the crashes have been hard to reproduce.
The best description I can provide:
- create a micro-ROS
FollowJointTrajectoryaction server - create a regular ROS 2
FollowJointTrajectoryaction client (registering feedback callback is not required) - periodically submit new goals to server from client, waiting for their completion
Expected behavior
Client can submit an "infinite" number of goals.
Server processes those goals while publishing feedback to the client.
Actual behavior
Client crashes after a "random time", completely shutting down the node containing the action client:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what(): std::bad_alloc
The server does not appear to be affected. After restart of the client, everything continues as normal.
Additional information
I have several backtraces of the crashes (some with debug symbols). I've included them at the end of this post.
Some observations from these traces:
- all contain references to
rmw_fastrtps_cpp::TypeSupport::deserializeROSmessage(..)and eventuallycdr_deserialize(..)et al. - all appear to crash at the same point:
rosidl_typesupport_fastrtps_cpp/trajectory_msgs/msg/detail/dds_fastrtps/multi_dof_joint_trajectory_point__type_support.cpp:179. This is generated code. I've included the code around that line below, after the GDB traces - all appear to attempt to
resize(..)the MultiDOFJointTrajectoryPoint::transforms field to a "ridiculously" large value (1157637866for instance in the third crash, frame#14)
Some more information about the server: the action server does not populate any of the multi_dof_* fields (these). It does initialise them to either [], "" or 0. The transforms field/list is completely empty, as are all the others.
I have Wireshark captures of all of the messages exchanged between the server and the client, and -- for the feedback messages I've checked -- none of those appear to contain any "garbage" or unexpected data.
I've used jseldent/wireshark-dds-xrce to dissect the data coming from the server, combined with gavanderhoorn/micro_xrce_dds_ros_idl_dissectors to dissect the actual ROS 2 message data.
As it starts to look like the RMW deserialiser is somehow deserialising corrupt/incorrect data, I tried to look for the values for __new_size mentioned in the backtraces in the Wireshark captures as binary data. I noticed the following:
# |
__new_size |
hex l-endian | found | where? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 |
1157681529 |
0x79D10045 |
Y | FollowJointTrajectory_Feedback message, request_id + object_id fields |
2 |
1157646959 |
0x6F4A0045 |
Y | FollowJointTrajectory_Feedback message, request_id + object_id fields |
3 |
1157637866 |
0xEA260045 |
Y | FollowJointTrajectory_Feedback message, request_id + object_id fields |
4 |
1668008540 |
0x5CCA6B63 |
Y | multiple messages, multiple fields |
All of the values could be found in the network traffic, but in 'unexpected' places. Sometimes at the start of a payload, sometimes even before the actual ROS message payload, sometimes at a 'random' location in the serialised ROS message payload.
The request_id + object_id fields mentioned in the where? column are micro-ROS specific (actually: XRCE-DDS specific) packet fields, which always occur before the serialised ROS message payload.
The last value appears to be a Unix Epoch and converts to Wednesday, November 9, 2022 4:42:20 PM GMT+01:00. This actually corresponds to the day the Wireshark capture was recorded.
I'm hoping this is sufficient information to at least trigger some people here and start a discussion. As the crashes are not easily reproduced, debugging has been difficult. Individually, all steps investigated (ie: network traffic, (de)serialisation, etc) appear to work correctly.
Perhaps accumulated internal state of the RMW causes a desync/memory corruption somewhere?

And just to show it: example hex dump of a datagram containing the serialised version of a control_msgs/action/FollowJointTrajectory::Feedback message. Below it is the dissected version Wireshark shows.
Note: this is just the XRCE-DDS WRITE_DATA serialized payload data, which should be what RMW FastRTPS also "sees" IIUC. It does not include the XRCE-DDS header(s).
All fields related to multi_dof are either 0, [empty] or "" as expected.

Some questions:
- Could you show the same as in the previous message (hex dump and dissection) of the message that produces the error?
- What are the sizes of the serialized message, your XRCE-DDS buffers (MTU), and the number of XRCE buffers?
- Which transport are you using at the micro-ROS level?
- Are you using a multithreaded micro-ROS app?
- Could you show the same as in the previous message (hex dump and dissection) of the message that produces the error?
I can't be sure it's the exact message that causes the crash. I do know it's the only FollowJointTrajectory::Feedback message in the third Wireshark capture which contains __new_size in hex (ie: 0xEA260045).
As I write later (in response to your question): the complete msg consists of two fragments.
Hex dumps
These are the complete XRCE-DDS protocol payloads, so not just the serialized_data I showed in https://github.com/ros2/rmw_fastrtps/issues/644#issuecomment-1313954347.
First fragment (appears first in capture, 550 bytes on-the-wire, 508 bytes XRCE-DDS protocol data):

- What are the sizes of the serialized message
The complete message consists of two fragments (probably why you ask about the MTU below).
Wireshark tells me:
- 550 bytes on-the-wire for the first fragment
- 74 bytes on-the-wire for the second fragment
- 508 bytes total XRCE-DDS payload for the first fragment
- 32 bytes total XRCE-DDS payload for the second fragment
- 500 bytes
submessageLengthfor the first fragment - 24 bytes
submessageLengthfor the second fragment - 520 bytes
submessageLengthfor the complete message (ie: reassembled)
See also the dissection tree I include above.
your XRCE-DDS buffers (MTU)
Set to UCLIENT_UDP_TRANSPORT_MTU=512 bytes.
the number of XRCE buffers?
Set to RMW_UXRCE_STREAM_HISTORY=160.
- Which transport are you using at the micro-ROS level?
UDPv4.
- Are you using a multithreaded micro-ROS app?
Multi-tasked (same thing on this platform), but: yes.
Oh and perhaps important/interesting to mention: the client doesn't have a feedback callback registered.
Given the fact the backtraces seem to point towards deserialisation failures, I'm not sure that's relevant/affects anything, but I thought I'd mention it in any case.
RMW_UXRCE_STREAM_HISTORY=160 shall be a power of two. Maybe this is not very explicit at the RMW level (we will fix it), but it is in the XRCE-DDS documentation: look for uxr_create_output_reliable_stream here.
Probably this is why your XRCE headers are being mixed with the payload.
Also, I guess that you have micro-ROS multithread flags enabled, right?
RMW_UXRCE_STREAM_HISTORY=160shall be a power of two.
Ok. That's something I'd missed apparently.
Maybe this is not very explicit at the RMW level (we will fix it)
yeah, I just checked and couldn't find it.
it is in the XRCE-DDS documentation: look for
uxr_create_output_reliable_streamhere.
True.
However, as a user of micro-ROS, I don't call that function anywhere, nor do I use the Client API directly myself. I only interact with the rmw_microxrcedds API. So I hadn't seen it.
Would perhaps be good to both check it and error out in the RMW and update the docs for these options in the CMakeLists.txt of rmw_microxrcedds_c?
I guess that you have micro-ROS multithread flags enabled, right?
Yes. UCLIENT_PROFILE_MULTITHREAD=ON.
Edit: we've also been using this value for about 6 months, and had not encountered any problems.
I'll test a build with a power-of-two value for RMW_UXRCE_STREAM_HISTORYand report back.
And some bounds checking on deserialised values might also be nice, but I guess that's hard to do: in some cases a vector with 1157681529 elements will probably be perfectly OK.
(but this is not something specific to this RMW, nor micro-ROS)
Yes, I agree that this shall be written somewhere, but it is not common for micro-ROS users to modify it and we have had no bandwidth to take care of it.
I can PR the CMake options docs. The Client would take me longer.
Appreciate it
Closing as the problem has not come back after changing STREAM_HISTORY to be a power-of-two.
Thanks for the fast response @pablogs9, even if this in the end was not an issue with rmw_fastrtps_cpp.
In any case, IMO this behavior of rmw_fastrtps_cpp or type support shall be fixed.
