Today, find_proxy_manager() may return a proxy manager that is about to be freed. This happens when the proxy manager's reference count reaches zero, but proxy_manager_destroy() has not removed the proxy manager from the apartment proxy list. Fix this by incrementing the reference count only if it is already nonzero. If the reference count is zero, any reference to the proxy manager will become invalid after the current thread leaves the critical section (apt->cs). This is because proxy_manager_destroy() will proceed to destroy the proxy manager after the apartment lock (apt->cs) is released. An alternative solution would be to prevent find_proxy_manager from observing the zero reference count in the first place. Multiple approaches have been considered for implementing this solution, but were eventually dropped due to several disadvantages when applied to the current Wine codebase: 1. Always acquire the apartment lock from the proxy manager's Release() method, and hold the lock until the proxy manager is completely removed from the list if the reference count drops to zero. This requires handling the special case when the proxy manager's parent apartment has been destroyed. When an apartment is destroyed, it sets the `parent` field of each proxy manager that was previously owned by the apartment to NULL. This means that each access to `This->parent->cs` has to be guarded by a NULL check for `This->parent`. Even if `parent` were never NULL, unconditionally acquiring a lock may unnecessarily block the subroutine and introduce contention. 2. Opportunistically decrement the reference count without holding the lock, but only if the count is greater than 1. This approach is still not free from the NULL parent apartment problem. 3. Check for any concurrent reference count change from proxy_manager_destroy(), and bail out if such change has occurred. This makes it possible for the proxy manager's AddRef() method to return 1, which is unusual. |
