[petsc-users] Vector 'Vec_0x84000002_0' (argument #1) was locked for read-only access

[Zou, Ling]

Hi all,

I updated PETSc to 3.22.1, and now my code run with the following error message.
Any idea this may happen?

In the entire code, VecGetArray() are used in the following places:

void
PETScApp::setupPETScIC()
{
  PetscScalar *uu;
  VecGetArray(u, &uu);
  _sim->setupPETScIC(uu);
  VecRestoreArray(u, &uu);
}

PetscErrorCode
snesFormFunction(SNES /*snes*/, Vec u, Vec f, void * appCtx)
{
  PETScApp * petscApp = (PETScApp *)appCtx;

  // zero out residuals
  VecZeroEntries(petscApp->res_tran);
  VecZeroEntries(petscApp->res_spatial);

  // get vectors
  PetscScalar *uu, *res_tran, *res_spatial;
  VecGetArray(u, &uu);
  VecGetArray(petscApp->res_tran, &res_tran);
  VecGetArray(petscApp->res_spatial, &res_spatial);

  // use the most updated solution vector to update solution, to compute RHS and transient residuals
  petscApp->_sim->updateSolutions(uu);
  petscApp->_sim->updateAuxVariables();
  petscApp->_sim->computeTranRes(res_tran);
  petscApp->_sim->computeSpatialRes(res_spatial);

  // restore vectors
  VecRestoreArray(u, &uu);
  VecRestoreArray(petscApp->res_tran, &res_tran);
  VecRestoreArray(petscApp->res_spatial, &res_spatial);

  // assemble final residuals: f = transient + spatial
  VecWAXPY(f, 1.0, petscApp->res_tran, petscApp->res_spatial);

  PetscFunctionReturn(PETSC_SUCCESS);
}


PS: PETSc is available provided by moose env.
