Hi Trond,
I'm looking for advice on how to handle the problem that when
BADSESSION is received (on an interrupted slot) and we don't increment
the seqid for that slot. The client releases the slot and it's
possible for another thread to use it before the session is frozen.
Here are the (unfiltered sequential) tracepoints showing the problem.
Follow slot_nr=0 and seq_nr=7673

*** this is use of slot_nr=0 seq_nr=7673 that gets BADSESSION. Slot
gets released without incrementing the seq#. The next tracepoint shows
the use of the slot again by another lock call ***

To prevent reuse of the same slot/seqid for when we receive
BADSESSION, can we perhaps set slot->seq_done? Then, when
nfs41_sequence_process() calls nfs41_sequence_free_slot(), it'd
increment seq_nr then. Slot re-use would be prevented.
Or, perhaps we set the NFS4_SLOT_TBL_DRAINING bit right in
nfs41_sequence_process() for BADSESSION so that nothing else can get
the slot when it's released?
Or some other way or preventing slots being (re)used after receiving
BADSESSION on that slot. The problem if re-using (interrupted) slots
is that they get cached reply from the server and those operations
"think" operation succeeded and they have wrong/invalid stateids for
instance.
Here's the sequence of events. First of all this is a session trunking
scenario where one of the servers leaves the group.
NFS OP uses slot=0 seq=0 sends it to server 1. Server 1 processes the
request populates its session cache. But the reply never reaches the
client. Connection gets reset.
NFS OP is resent using slot=0 seq=0 to server 2 which just left the
trunking group. It replies with BADSESSION
(session is not frozen on the client yet) new NFS OP uses slot=0 seq=0
and sends it to server 1. Server 1 responds out of the session cache.
Client destroys the session
Client uses stateid returned from the new OP which is really invalid
for the operation. Server fails the operation. Application failure
occurs.
Thank you..
