前言
最近我们的程序在退出时会卡住，调查发现是在卸载dll时死锁了。大概流程是这样的：我们的dll在加载的时候会创建一个工作线程，在卸载的时候，会设置退出标志并等待之前开启的工作线程结束。为了研究这个经典的死锁问题，写了一个模拟程序，用到的dump文件及示例代码参考附件。
这也是几年前在项目中遇到的一个问题，我对之前的笔记进行了整理重新发布于此。
关键代码
主程序 WaitDllUnloadExe
//WaitDllUnloadExe.cpp
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "windows.h"
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
HMODULE module = LoadLibraryA(".\\DllUnload.dll");
Sleep(5000);
FreeLibrary(module);
return 0;
}
DLL程序 DllUnload
// dllmain.cpp
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "process.h"
HANDLE g_hThread;
bool g_quit = false;
unsigned __stdcall procThread(void *)
{
while ( !g_quit )
{
OutputDebugStringA("procThread running.\n");
Sleep(100);
}
OutputDebugStringA("====procThread quitting.\n");
return 0;
}
unsigned __stdcall quitDemoProc(void *)
{
int idx = 0;
while ( idx++ < 5 )
{
OutputDebugStringA("quitDemoProc running!!!!!!!!.\n");
Sleep(100);
}
OutputDebugStringA("====quitDemoProc quitting.\n");
return 0;
}
BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HMODULE hModule,
DWORD ul_reason_for_call,
LPVOID lpReserved
)
{
switch (ul_reason_for_call)
{
case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
{
g_hThread = (HANDLE)_beginthreadex(NULL, 0, &procThread, NULL, 0, NULL);
CloseHandle((HANDLE)_beginthreadex(NULL, 0, &quitDemoProc, NULL, 0, NULL));
}
break;
case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
{
OutputDebugStringA("====DLL_THREAD_DETACH called.\n");
}
break;
case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
{
OutputDebugStringA("====DLL_PROCESS_DETACH begin wait...\n");
g_quit = true;
WaitForSingleObject(g_hThread, INFINITE);
OutputDebugStringA("====DLL_PROCESS_DETACH end wait...\n");
}
break;
}
return TRUE;
}
分析
使用windbg打开dump文件。然后使用~kvn 列出所有线程的调用栈。

0号线程是主线程（线程id为1924），1号线程是子线程（线程id为594），2号线程（线程id为1960）是windbg插入的远程线程，用来中断到调试器。
0号线程在调用WaitForSingleObject时陷入了等待，我们来看它等什么。输入!handle 0x38 f
!handle 0x38 f
Handle 00000038
Type Thread
Attributes 0
GrantedAccess 0x1fffff:
Delete,ReadControl,WriteDac,WriteOwner,Synch
Terminate,Suspend,Alert,GetContext,SetContext,SetInfo,QueryInfo,SetToken,Impersonate,DirectImpersonate
HandleCount 5
PointerCount 8
Name <none>
Object specific information
Thread Id 1918.594
Priority 10
Base Priority 0
原来0号线程在等线程id为594的线程 。我们代码里确实有WaitForSingleObject(g_hThread, INFINITE); ，我们再来看看1号线程。从调用栈看来，1号线程已经在调用_endthreadex()准备关闭了，在关闭的过程中进入了一个关键段，并调用ntdll!NtWaitForSingleObject()进入等待。等待的句柄为0x40。输入!handle 0x40 f查看句柄的相关信息。
0:002> !handle 0x40 f
Handle 00000040
Type Event
Attributes 0
GrantedAccess 0x100003:
Synch
QueryState,ModifyState
HandleCount 2
PointerCount 4
Name <none>
Object specific information
Event Type Auto Reset
Event is Waiting
我们发现句柄0x40对应的对象是Event，暂时先不管。使用万能死锁调试命令!cs -l看看（因为从调用堆栈来看1号线程是调用RtlEnterCriticalSection而死锁的。）
0:002> !cs -l
-----------------------------------------
DebugInfo = 0x77204360
Critical section = 0x772020c0 (ntdll!LdrpLoaderLock+0x0)
LOCKED
LockCount = 0x1
WaiterWoken = No
OwningThread = 0x00001924
RecursionCount = 0x1
LockSemaphore = 0x40
SpinCount = 0x00000000
从输出结果可知，有一个锁住的关键段，被0号线程（线程id为0x00001924）拥有。而且这个死锁的关键段的成员LockSemaphore正是1号线程正在等待的句柄值。突然想起来《windows核心编程》上讲过关键段的结构，其中的LockSemaphore为Event类型的，具体参考第八章8.4节。
至此，终于真相大白了，0号线程在DllMain()内（ul_reason_for_call为DLL_PROCESS_DETACH）等待1号线程结束，而1号线程在结束的时候同样要调用DllMain()，并且ul_reason_for_call参数为DLL_THREAD_DETACH。由于对DllMain()的调用需要序列化，需要等待0号线程释放锁后，其它线程才能调用。而0号线程又在无限等待1号线程结束，故死锁。
注意：即使在DllMain()里调用DisableThreadLibraryCalls(hModule);也不管用，具体参考《windows核心编程》中的相关分析。
在winnt.h里找到了CriticalSection的定义，如下
typedef struct _RTL_CRITICAL_SECTION {
PRTL_CRITICAL_SECTION_DEBUG DebugInfo;
//
// The following three fields control entering and exiting the critical
// section for the resource
//
LONG LockCount;
LONG RecursionCount;
HANDLE OwningThread; // from the thread's ClientId->UniqueThread
HANDLE LockSemaphore;
ULONG_PTR SpinCount; // force size on 64-bit systems when packed
} RTL_CRITICAL_SECTION, *PRTL_CRITICAL_SECTION;
总结
不要在DllMain()里等待线程结束。
使用!cs -l调试关键段死锁，真香。
