Hello!
What does this warning mean?
"Jan 13 09:31:49.000 [warn] assign_to_cpuworker failed. Ignoring."
Do I need to reduce the number of connection to the relay or could I ignore this message?
Regards,

When tor tried to give a task (cell decryption) to a cpuworker, it didn't work. This can happen for a few different reasons.
Do I need to reduce the number of connection to the relay or could I ignore this message?
Check the other warnings/notices near this warning. If there aren't any, then there's no problem.

The only warning I have found close to it:
"Jan 13 11:08:46.000 [warn] Your system clock just jumped 216 seconds forward; assuming established circuits no longer work"
That could be due to the IPv4 autodetection? Maybe I should explicitly set the Address option in torrc?
Regards,
you have a ntp daemon running?

Yes I do.
Should I disable it? ;-)

As long as you don't have any warning around this one (clock jump is unrelated), I can say that if you had info log level you would see `circ->p_chan gone. Failing circ.` I guess that's just means that this circ got broken at the wrong time. This happens, but if you have many circuits it should be more visible. That's ok. btw, what is the number of connections on your relay (maybe I'm wrong)?

Yes, that depends. Normally it's around 400 or a bit more connections, but sometimes (with HSDir Flag) it jumps to 1000 or 2000 connections.
Occasionally the relay gets unresponsive (very rare) or tor service stops working (only one time).

Hi!
Yes, since I set the "Address "line in torrc, this message was gone. But ... I nevertheless get the "clock jumped" warning once a day:
"Jan 21 18:34:53.000 [warn] Your system clock just jumped 398 seconds forward; assuming established circuits no longer work."
3-6 minutes difference is quite much. I also have a ntp daemon running and don't know why this happens. The clock is synced?

This may not be related to this issue. "clock jump" may not be a clock jump actually. E.g. one can just "pause" all TCP connections for some time (e.g. on a firewall/DPI/traffic shaper) and then resume them. In such case tor will regard this sleep/resume in the main loop as a "clock jump" thus breaking all circuits. This is because it produces ticks each second in the same thread as the main loop (which is blocking awaiting for data on a socket). There should be a ticket for this, maybe someone can arrange it.

That might be possible. There is no special FW rule, but the router also uses traffic shaping.

It doesn't seem to hurt now. I will keep an eyes on it.

On what hardware/OS this relay is running? It seems to be due to hitting resource limits. { src/or/onion.c:238 + "assign_to_cpuworker failed" error } Though neither circuit_mark_for_close() should be called twice nor tor process should crash. Do you see other warnings? Messages about the reason of tor termination?
btw, there is a ticket for this very issue: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/20059 As long as it happens at the same lines of code I guess all this has common reason. "assign_to_cpuworker" error is a kinda consequence of hitting rate-limits (likely RAM usage).
Probably there is a memory leakage somewhere that makes everything fail and get process eventually killed by OS. -- Ivan Markin
You're right Ivan, my bad ! Swap has grown quickly and has been full... Ok, it was a test with another instance... so I'll kill this other instance :(
Thx for your help Ivan, next time, I'll check my graphs :s Nice shot ;)

There is nothing wrong at your side. You're probably experiencing the same issue as in ticket I've mentioned earlier. "a memory leakage somewhere" means that this "somewhere" is a place in tor code and probably triggered remotely. This definitely ought to be fixed since it may be a DoS vulnerability (process crash). So if you have some details on this issue please report them to the mentioned ticket.
Thanks, -- Ivan Markin
Thx Ivan for your support. I got an eye on the logs and everything around.
ps: updated to 2.9.9 some hours ago... looks like ok for now.

It's running fine since this last upgrade, on my case. (I've reduced RAM used by shutting down an instance... no problem, full bandwidth is used now!)
Good luck ;)

Hi!
Thanks for your answer.
Just compiling the "new" version.
If the problem persists, than I would also shut down one instance. The full configured bandwidth was used, but it really wasn't stable. I got this message once a week or so ...
I will give a feedback soon. ;-)

I've used this for both instances: MaxMemInQueues 400 MB I guess, that I have to reduce it.

For me, I've set nothing, I'm leaving it automatic, and usually Tor understand how much RAM free there's in the machine ;) Have fun with source compil !
