When the MClientSnap reqeust's op is not CEPH_SNAP_OP_SPLIT the
request may still contain a list of 'split_realms', and we need
to skip it anyway. Or it will be parsed as a corrupt snaptrace.

Hi Xiubo,

This code appears to be very old -- it goes back to the initial commit
963b61eb041e ("ceph: snapshot management") in 2009.  Do you have an
explanation for why this popped up only now?
As I remembered we hit this before in one cu BZ last year, but I
couldn't remember exactly which one.  But I am not sure whether @Jeff
saw this before I joint ceph team.


Has MDS always been including split_inos and split_realms arrays in
!CEPH_SNAP_OP_SPLIT case or is this a recent change?  If it's a recent
change, I'd argue that this needs to be addressed on the MDS side.
While in MDS side for the _UPDATE op it won't send the 'split_realm'
list just before the commit in 2017:

commit 93e7267757508520dfc22cff1ab20558bd4a44d4
Author: Yan, Zheng <zyan@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Fri Jul 21 21:40:46 2017 +0800

        mds: send snap related messages centrally during mds recovery

        sending CEPH_SNAP_OP_SPLIT and CEPH_SNAP_OP_UPDATE messages to
        clients centrally in MDCache::open_snaprealms()

        Signed-off-by: "Yan, Zheng" <zyan@xxxxxxxxxx>

Before this commit it will only send the 'split_realm' list for the
_SPLIT op.
It sounds like we have the culprit.  This should be treated as
a regression and fixed on the MDS side.  I don't see a justification
for putting useless data on the wire.
But we still need this patch to make it to work with the old ceph releases.
This is debatable:

- given that no one noticed this for so long, the likelihood of MDS
    sending a CEPH_SNAP_OP_UPDATE message with bogus split_inos and
    split_realms arrays is very low

- MDS side fix would be backported to supported Ceph releases

- people who are running unsupported Ceph releases (i.e. aren't
    updating) are unlikely to be diligently updating their kernel clients
Just searched the ceph tracker and I found another 3 trackers have the
same issue:

https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/57817
https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/57703
https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/57686

So plusing this time and the previous CU case:

https://www.spinics.net/lists/ceph-users/msg77106.html

I have seen at least 5 times.

All this are reproduced when doing MDS failover, and this is the root
cause in MDS side.
OK, given that the fixup in the kernel client is small, it seems
justified.  But, please, add a comment in the new else branch saying
that it's there only to work around a bug in the MDS.

Thanks,

                 Ilya
