Subject: [nfs-utils PATCH v3 0/2] Two rpc.gssd improvements

Changes since v2:

- Cancellation of timed-out upcall threads is no longer the default.

Changes since v1:

- Replaced the upcall_thread_info.cancelled field with a flags field,
to facilitate having the watchdog thread print an error message only
once for each timed-out upcall thread.
- Removed the "created thread id" log message.
- Added missing break when parsing the "-C" option.
- Added some comments.

These patches provide the following improvements for rpc.gssd:
1) deal with failed thread creation
2) add a timeout for upcall threads

Both of these issues can leave kernel mount processes hanging
indefinitely. A timeout was originally proposed in the kernel
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/[email protected]/)
but this approach was rejected by Trond:

I'm saying that we can do this entirely in userland without any kernel
changes. As long as that hasn't been attempted and proven to be flawed,
then there is no reason to accept any kernel patches.

So this is my attempt at doing the timeout in userland.

The first patch was tested using a program that intercepts clone() and
changes the return code to -EAGAIN.

For the second patch, I have two different tests I've been running:

1) In an IPA domain in our lab, I have a server running 100 kerberized
nfsd containers. The client has mountpoints to all 100 of those servers
defined in its /etc/fstab. I run 'systemctl start remote-fs.target' to
kick off all those mounts in parallel, while running the following
systemtap script to periodically mess with the mount processes:

---8<---
global i

probe begin { i=0 }

probe process("/lib64/libgssapi_krb5.so.2").function("gss_acquire_cred")
{
if (++i % 100 == 0) {
printf("delay (i=%d)\n", i)
mdelay(30000)
}
}
---8<---

I actually run the test in a loop... the driver script looks like this:

---8<---
#!/bin/bash
let i=1
while :; do
echo "Round $i"
echo "Mounting"
systemctl start remote-fs.target
echo -n "Waiting on mount.nfs processes to complete "
while pgrep mount.nfs >/dev/null; do
echo -n "."
sleep 1
done
echo -e "\nNumber of nfs4 mounts: $(grep -c nfs4 /proc/mounts)"
echo -e "Unmounting"
umount -a -t nfs4
if ! pgrep gssd >/dev/null; then
echo "gssd is not running - check for crash"
break
fi
echo "Sleeping 5 seconds"
sleep 5
let i=$i+1
done
---8<---

2) In an AD environment in our lab, I added 1000 test users. On a
client machine I have all those users run a script that writes to files
on a NetApp SVM and while that script is running I trigger a LIF
migration on the filer. That forces all those users to establish new
creds with the SVM.

That test looks basically like this
# for i in `seq 1 1000`; do su - testuser$i -c "echo 'PASSWORD'|kinit"; done
# for i in `seq 1 1000`; do su - testuser$i -c "date >/mnt/t/tmp/testuser$i-testfile" & done
# for i in `seq 1 1000`; do su - testuser$i -c test.sh & done

where test.sh is a simple script that writes the date to a file in a
loop:

---8<---
#!/bin/bash
filename=/mnt/t/tmp/$(whoami)-testfile
for i in $(seq 1 300)
do
date >$filename
sleep 1
done
---8<---

While the test users are running the script I run one of the following
commands on the NetApp filer:

network interface migrate -vserver VSERVER -lif LIF -destination-node NODE
network interface revert -vserver VSERVER -lif LIF

Subject: [nfs-utils PATCH v3 1/2] gssd: deal with failed thread creation

If we fail to create a thread to handle an upcall, we still need to do a
downcall to tell the kernel about the failure, otherwise the process
that is trying to establish gss credentials will hang.

This patch shifts the thread creation down a level in the call chain so
now the main thread does a little more work up front (reading & parsing
the data from the pipefs file) so it has the info it needs to be able
to do the error downcall.

Subject: [nfs-utils PATCH v3 2/2] gssd: add timeout for upcall threads

Add a global list of active upcalls and a watchdog thread that walks the
list, looking for threads running longer than timeout seconds. By
default, an error message will by logged to the syslog.

The upcall timeout can be specified by passing the -U option or by
setting the upcall-timeout parameter in nfs.conf.

Passing the -C option or setting cancel-timed-out-upcalls=1 in nfs.conf
causes the watchdog thread to also cancel timed-out upcall threads and
report an error of -ETIMEDOUT to the kernel.

Given that the goal of the 2nd patch is to join the threads then this
doesn't make sense to me. Don't you want your upcall threads then
instead be using PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE state?

Actually I'm not sure how this code works because documentation says
"once a thread has been detached, it can't be joined with
pthread_join(3) or be made joinable again".

I believe if the thread were to be canceled it needs to have been
created with its cancelability state set to true. I might have missed
it in the previous patch but I dont think I saw calls to
pthread_setcancelstate().

The second patch removes this call, so the threads will be joinable by
default after the second patch.

If I would have done it in this patch, then I would have also had to
join the threads in this patch as well, which isn't the point of this
patch. The point of this patch is to handle failures of
pthread_create().

I'm not joining threads in this patch, so they need to be detached.

All this patch is doing is shifting things around a bit so I have easier
access to the uid and the fd, so that I can do the error downcall to the
kernel if pthread_create() fails. Otherwise the kernel thread that
initiated the upcall will be left hanging.

These patches accomplish two different things. The first patch handles
pthread_create() failures and it's not necessary for the threads to be
joinable to do that. The second patch adds the timeout, and in order to
do that the threads have to be joinable so I can see if they're still
running or not.

The default cancelability state is already PTHREAD_CANCEL_ENABLE. If
you look at process_krb5_upcall(), that's where I'm disabling and
enabling cancelability (as well as adding explicit cancellation points
via pthread_testcancel()). The reason I'm doing that is because that's
where we're calling down into libtirpc, libgssapi_krb5, etc., and
allowing a thread to be cancelled down there would typically lead to bad
things happening (leaked resources, locked mutexes, etc).
