[Cluster-devel] [PATCH 1/6] dlm: fix connection stealing if using SCTP

[Marcelo Ricardo Leitner]

When using SCTP and accepting a new connection, DLM currently validates
if the peer trying to connect to it is one of the cluster nodes, but it
doesn't check if it already has a connection to it or not.

If it already had a connection, it will be overwritten, and the new one
will be used for writes, possibly causing the node to leave the cluster
due to communication breakage.

Still, one could DoS the node by attempting N connections and keeping
them open.

As said, but being explicit, both situations are only triggerable from
other cluster nodes, but are doable with only user-level perms.

[Cluster-devel] [PATCH 2/6] dlm: fix race while closing connections

[Marcelo Ricardo Leitner]

When a connection have issues DLM may need to close it.  Therefore we
should also cancel pending workqueues for such connection at that time,
and not just when dlm is not willing to use this connection anymore.

Also, if we don't clear CF_CONNECT_PENDING flag, the error handling
routines won't be able to re-connect as lowcomms_connect_sock() will
check for it.

[Marcelo Ricardo Leitner]

If we don't clear that bit, lowcomms_connect_sock() will not schedule
another attempt, and no further attempt will be done.

[Cluster-devel] [PATCH 4/6] dlm: use sctp 1-to-1 API

[Marcelo Ricardo Leitner]

DLM is using 1-to-many API but in a 1-to-1 fashion. That is, it's not
needed but this causes it to use sctp_do_peeloff() to mimic an
kernel_accept() and this causes a symbol dependency on sctp module.

By switching it to 1-to-1 API we can avoid this dependency and also
reduce quite a lot of SCTP-specific code in lowcomms.c.

The caveat is that now DLM won't always use the same src port. It will
choose a random one, just like TCP code. This allows the peers to
attempt simultaneous connections, which now are handled just like for
TCP.

Even more sharing between TCP and SCTP code on DLM is possible, but it
is intentionally left for a later commit.

Note that for using nodes with this commit, you have to have at least
the early fixes on this patchset otherwise it will trigger some issues
on old nodes.

You still need to enable sctp notifications (I think the patch deleted
that code).
Otherwise you don't get any kind of indication if the remote system
'resets' (ie sends an new INIT chunk) on an existing connection.

It is probably enough to treat the MSG_NOTIFICATION as a fatal error
and close the socket.

This is probably a bug in the sctp stack - if a connection is reset
but the user hasn't requested notifications then it should be
converted to a disconnect indication and a new incoming connection.

Right, it would miss the restart event and could generate a corrupted 
tx/rx buffers by glueing parts of old messages with new ones.

> It is probably enough to treat the MSG_NOTIFICATION as a fatal error

Just so we are on the same page, you mean that after accepting the new 
association and enabling notifications on it, any further notification 
on it can be treated as fatal errors, right? Seems reasonable to me.

> This is probably a bug in the sctp stack - if a connection is reset

Maybe in such case resets shouldn't be allowed at all? Because unless it 
happens on a moment of silence it will always lead to application buffer 
corruption. Checked the RFCs now but couldn't find anything restricting 
them to some condition.

Thanks,
Marcelo

Except that it is SCTP so you'd expect DATA chunks to contain entire
messages and so get unexpected message sequences rather than corrupt
messages.
The problem is that the recovery is likely to be another reset.
(Particularly with M3UA where the source and destination port numbers
are likely to be the same and fixed.)

That's what I had to do.
The far end will probably see an additional disconnect, but it shouldn't
matter.

I certainly expected the 'reset' to cause an inwards abortive disconnect
on the old socket and a new indication on the listening socket.
I think (hope) that is what you get for a TCP SYN that matches an existing
connection.

In our case I think they were happening when the remote system was power
cycled.

I was thinking on cases where the buf for recvmsg is not enough to hold 
the chunk, so that the remaining is left for another attempt 
(sctp_recvmsg, around line 2130), but sounds like we won't purge rx 
buffer when the reset happens so that doesn't matter. The association is 
replaced, but the buffers are kept.

Out of order messages aren't a problem for dlm. It can recover from that 
just fine, as it doesn't have a specific handshake at beginning or 
something like that and upper layers are agnostic to that state 
transition (disconnect/reconnect/...), this should be fine.

Okay

As said above, such corruption doesn't exist, and while checking this, 
the reset is actually reported by a double report of established state 
via sk_state_change(). The reset will trigger a call to 
sctp_sf_do_dupcook_a() which will later schedule a state transition to 
established for !udp sockets. For users in kernel at least, one could 
use that as the reconnect signal.

I was thinking that too but now seeing that it seems to work out of the 
box with dlm, I liked the feature. ;)

And it has to be a fast one, so that heartbeats won't catch it in time.

I'm not sure thats true - DLM does rely on message ordering in some 
cases in order to ensure correct functioning. So depending on how SCTP 
is interfaced to DLM, it might potentially be an issue,

Yes, that ordering is still kept. Like, it won't flip a newer message to 
a first position. It's just that if DLM had its own handshake exposing 
its version and features, one peer (the old one) would get it out of the 
blue and the other (the new one) would never get it. Or if its messages 
would depend on a previous state, meaning LockMsgC is only acceptable if 
LockMsgA was already performed on that connection. That is my 
understanding from what David pointed out and what I checked here.

Then as lowcomms previously allowed connection closing without telling 
anyone above it that it happened, it should be fine, right? It will just 
finish processing the old messages and then start on the new ones, just 
like before.

Thanks,
Marcelo

[Cluster-devel] [PATCH 5/6] dlm: replace BUG_ON with a less severe handling

[Marcelo Ricardo Leitner]

BUG_ON() is a severe action for this case, specially now that DLM with
SCTP will use 1 socket per association. Instead, we can just close the
socket on this error condition and return from the function.

Also move the check to an earlier stage as it won't change and thus we
can abort as soon as possible.

Although this issue was reported when still using SCTP with 1-to-many
API, this cleanup wouldn't be that simple back then because we couldn't
close the socket and making sure such event would cease would be hard.
And actually, previous code was closing the association, yet SCTP layer
is still raising the new data event. Probably a bug to be fixed in SCTP.

[Cluster-devel] [PATCH 6/6] dlm: fix reconnecting but not sending data

[Marcelo Ricardo Leitner]

There are cases on which lowcomms_connect_sock() is called directly,
which caused the CF_WRITE_PENDING flag to not bet set upon reconnect,
specially on send_to_sock() error handling. On this last, the flag was
already cleared and no further attempt on transmitting would be done.

As dlm tends to connect when it needs to transmit something, it makes
sense to always mark this flag right after the connect.
