/cc @mdempsky (it was his most recent trybot failure)

Relevant part seems to be that goroutine 2304 is closing pc.closech and thinks it should ready goroutine 2299 to run. In the trace, goroutine 2299 is executing the body of a 'case <-pc.closech' in a select. But clearly it started that code ahead of when goroutine 2304 thought it should. Maybe the synchronization is wrong in the case of a channel being closed and the select might end up both queueing on the channel and noticing the channel is closed and returning without dequeueing. Easy to imagine that being a race that would be rare.

Oddly, I can't find a single instance of this crash or any "status in ready" crash on the dashboard logs, back to the beginning of the year.

atomicstatus=8 is actually _Gcopystack, but that only happens when the goroutine is copying its own stack: it flips from _Grunning to _Gcopystack and then back. Oddly, the stack trace shows the goroutine blocked in semacquire inside a Mutex.Lock, not actually running. Maybe it ran ahead and got to the lock between the start of the panic and the dump, but that seems like a stretch. So the dump shows semacquire, we somehow caught it in _Gcopystack, and between those it must have been _Grunning. A lot of ducks in a row. Hard to believe.

This just happened on a CL at tip in a trybot run:

I've marked this Go 1.8 again. This seems not good.

bradfitz on 20 Dec 2016

@aclements, any update here?

Another trybot failure: https://storage.googleapis.com/go-build-log/e77471fe/windows-amd64-gce_24f4464c.log

@bradfitz, do you know if this is only happening on windows-amd64?

Some observations:

This has happened once on the builders (non-trybot): 2016-11-11T19:46:17-39e3cbf/windows-amd64-gce

Logs 1 and 2 fail in closechan, but 3 and 4 fail in send from a select.

Log 1 received from pc.closech on goroutine 2299 just before this panic, which is the channel that's being closed by goroutine 2304. The select is in roundTrip (based on parent commit 8259cf3). According to the traceback, 2304 is in semacquire, which means it had to be in _Grunning (2) a moment ago and is in _Gwaiting (4) as of the traceback. But when the panic was printed, it was in _Gcopystack (8), which is only used for synchronous stack growth. Perhaps something in the select path caused stack growth while the goroutine was visible to the close?

Log 3 panics on goroutine 6749 when sending on sc.wantWriteFrameCh from writeFrameFromHandler (based on parent commit 9def857). The offending goroutine is 6730. I'm not quite sure what 6730 is doing; there are a lot of mentions of "close" in the traceback, which might have closed sc.wantWriteFrameCh, but as far as I can tell this channel never gets closed. Unwinding all the way to serve shows we're in a receive case on sc.wantWriteFrameCh. 6730 is also in the process of panicking, but I'm not sure what that's due to.
