[petsc-users] KSP has an extra iteration when use shell matrix

Thanks for your response. You are correct. I overlooked this step.

Now I am trying to correct my "shell matrix approach" for ex1f.F90 of 
snes solver 
(https://github.com/hyharry/small_petsc_test/blob/master/test_shell_jac/ex1f.F90). 
I realized that I need to record the base vector X in the context of 
shell matrix and then use this info to carry MyMult. However, the 
context cannot be obtained through MatShellGetContext(). Here are the 
critical parts of my code.

        INTERFACE MatCreateShell
          SUBROUTINE MatCreateShell(comm,mloc,nloc,m,n,ctx,mat,ierr)
            USE solver_context
            MPI_Comm :: comm
            PetscInt :: mloc,nloc,m,n
            Vec :: ctx
            Mat :: mat
            PetscErrorCode :: ierr
          END SUBROUTINE MatCreateShell
        END INTERFACE MatCreateShell

        INTERFACE MatShellSetContext
          SUBROUTINE MatShellSetContext(mat,ctx,ierr)
            USE solver_context
            Mat :: mat
            !TYPE(MatCtx) :: ctx
            Vec :: ctx
            PetscErrorCode :: ierr
          END SUBROUTINE MatShellSetContext
        END INTERFACE MatShellSetContext

        INTERFACE MatShellGetContext
          SUBROUTINE MatShellGetContext(mat,ctx,ierr)
            USE solver_context
            Mat :: mat
            Vec, Pointer :: ctx
            PetscErrorCode :: ierr
          END SUBROUTINE MatShellGetContext
        END INTERFACE MatShellGetContext

in my FormShellJacobian() I did

subroutine FormJacobianShell(snes,X,jac,B,dummy,ierr)

......

   call MatShellSetContext(jac,X,ierr)

......

Then in MyMult() I tried to recover this context by

call MatShellGetContext(J,x,ierr)

call VecView(x,PETSC_VIEWER_STDOUT_WORLD,ierr)

Then the program failed with

[0]PETSC ERROR: --------------------- Error Message 
--------------------------------------------------------------
[0]PETSC ERROR: Null argument, when expecting valid pointer
[0]PETSC ERROR: Null Pointer: Parameter # 1

In MyMult, I actually defined x to be a pointer. So I am confused here.

Best regards,

Yi
