m_lastUsedBlock is accessed multiple times. If another tread simultaneously<br />
executes the binary block search below in the same function, then<br />
m_lastUsedBlock may be modified by that thread. This may result in the first<br />
thread returning a wrong block, since it may return the modified value of<br />
m_lastUsedBlock instead of the original value that it used to determine whether<br />
the given line is in the block.</p>
<p>This change is intended to fix a crash where an out-of-bounds line is accessed<br />
in katetextblock.cpp, which occurs about one or two times per month for me when<br />
using KDevelop. I have no idea whether this possible race condition is actually<br />
the reason for these crashes, but it seems like a plausible candidate.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>TEST PLAN</strong><div><p>I only tested that the code still works after the change.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R39 KTextEditor</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>BRANCH</strong><div><div>fix_katetextbuffer_race_condition</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D23721">https://phabricator.kde.org/D23721</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>AFFECTED FILES</strong><div><div>src/buffer/katetextbuffer.cpp<br />
