(ITS#5545) Inconsistency in multi-master setup
by st＠itsc.cuhk.edu.hk 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Full_Name: SiuTo Wong Version: 2.4.10 OS: CentOS 5 (Final) URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (137.189.29.184) Have setup 2-node multi-master configuration. Found that when operating on same set of users at high loading, there will be consistency between the masters. The problem can be simulated by running copies of perl script to add/delete the same set of users simultaneously, e.g. add user a001 - a100 & delete user a001 - a100 & or add user a001 - … [View More]

I think the best is option is disallow addition of an unlisted subject and disallow the removal of a unlisted subclass (except by replace). This will provide more a more consistent and symmetric behavior. In your initial report, it was this inconsistent and non-symmetric behavior that was your most significant concern.

Hpmh. Not very, according to RFCs 4511-12. Maybe we all "knew" it so well that we never noticed, during several IETF WGs. > For instance, (objectClass=*) is to match DSEs which don't have an > objectClass attribute. That's explicitly mentioned in RFC 4512 for the root DSE, as is the (objectClass=subschema) special case. Section RFC 4512 section 3.3 says each entry in the DIT has an 'objectClass' attribute. Are other DSEs not in the DIT? There is RFC 4511 section 4.5.1 (Search Request)'s statement that List and Read operations can be emulated with a search for (objectClass=*). Nowhere else can I find that (objectClass=*) is special. > Likewise, objectClass=foo can match objectClass attributes which > don't explicitly contain foo. Not according what the RFCs say to my eyes, (below): >> See RFC 4517 section 4.2.26.

Do you remember where/when? All I found was this, which seems to imply the opposite: http://www.openldap.org/lists/ietf-ldapbis/200403/msg00023.html >> Instead slapd should add the missing classes to the actual object, > > Doing so is problematic.

Currently clients are being surprised when (objectClass=A) matches even though A is absent.

Well, it does when it adds missing naming attributes (since RFC4511, ITS#5412). I guess that is a better example. And it "mucks with" objectClass in a different way anyway, as you've just pointed out. -- Hallvard [View Less]

What are you looking at? > (Hmm, I too had the impression it had no EQUALITY rule...) I'm working with OpenLDAP 2.4.9. You're right. integerMatch has … [View More]an equality rule but no normalizing function. The logic that determines whether a normalized value should exist says: have_norm = a->a_desc->ad_type->sat_equality != NULL && a->a_desc->ad_type->sat_equality->smr_normalize != NULL; ... new_nval = nvals != NULL; ... if ( have_norm != new_nval ) { assert() So we don't need nvals for integers. For this reason I was right to remove the nval for monitorCounter, monitorOpInitiated, monitorOpCompleted, but my reasoning was wrong. >> monitorOpCompleted >> monitorOpInitiated >> These attributes do not have equality matching rules, > > These do too, inherited from monitorCounter.

The code at the end of monitor_subsys_ops_update() maintains a_vals but not a_nvals, so that is probably the problem: /* NOTE: no minus sign is allowed in the counters... */ UI2BV( &a->a_vals[ 0 ], nInitiated ); ldap_pvt_mp_clear( nInitiated ); ... /* NOTE: no minus sign is allowed in the counters... */ UI2BV( &a->a_vals[ 0 ], nCompleted ); ldap_pvt_mp_clear( nCompleted ); >> namingContexts >> configContext >> dynamicSubtrees >> >> These attributes do not have equality matching rules, but probably >> should.

I … [View More]suspect there will be a fair number of cases that > need to be cleaned up. I've identified these attributes as having differences between their nval population and their schema. I've been using Google coredumper instead of assertions to mark places where normalization looks bad. In this way, I get a bunch of core files to look through after a run instead of a single assertion. Once all of the attributes that have bad normalization have been identified in this way, I'll go back over the source and look for other places where they are used. I haven't found all of the normalization differences yet, but I wanted to check in to ensure I'm on the right path. I would like your comments on whether these look like the right changes to make. You can refer to ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/sburford-initial-normalization-20080604.pat… for the details. createTimestamp createTimestamp does have an equality matching rule, as I think it should. The buffer timestamp is populated with a generalized time by slap_timestamp(), so I add &timestamp as the nval for the calls to attr_merge_one in add.c slap_add_opattrs() and schema.c schema_info(). I also use a slight variation of this for createTimestamp in slapadd.c slapadd(). modifyTimestamp Same arguments and modifications as createTimestamp. modifyTimestamp is also used in modify.c slap_mods_opattrs(), where I ch_malloc a new BerVarray for the mod->sml_nvalues. I dont use the same BerVarray for vals and nvals in case whatever frees mod entries frees them as separate pointers (double free). Does something free all of the vals and nvals in the modify list? entryCSN entryCSN does have an equality matching rule, as I think it should. In add.c slap_add_opattrs() I change the attr_merge_one into an attr_merge_normalize_one with op->o_tmpmemctx as the memory context. I haven't looked into the memory context argument, but assume it contains a list of things to free when the context is finished with? In slapadd I also change the attr_merge_one into an attr_merge_normalize_one but I pass a NULL memory context, since slapadd is short lived and there are other examples like this in the nearby source code. In modify.c slap_mods_opattrs() I ch_malloc a new BerVarray for the entryCSN nval and use attr_normalize_one to populate it. Again I assume something frees the components of the modify list later. contextCSN contextCSN does have an equality matching rule, as I think it should. In ctxcsn.c slap_create_context_csn_entr() I change attr_merge_one into attr_merge_normalize_one with a NULL memory context. In overlays/syncprov.c syncprov_checkpoint() and syncrepl.c syncrepl_updateCookie() it is a bit more difficult because a local modlist is created without any attr_merge calls, so I ch_malloc an array for the nvals, and populate it with attr_normalize and use ber_array_bvfree to free it. monitorCounter monitorCounter does not have an equality matching rule, so I remove the nval argument from attr_merge_one() in back-monitor/conn.c monitor_subsys_conn_init() (affects counters for max FD, total conns and current conns). monitorOpCompleted monitorOpInitiated These attributes do not have equality matching rules, so I remove the nval argument from attr_merge_one() in back-monitor/operation.c monitor_subsys_ops_init(). monitorContext namingContexts configContext dynamicSubtrees These attributes do not have equality matching rules, but probably should. I add 'EQUALITY distinguishedNameMatch' to them in schema_prep.c. olcRootDN olcSchemaDN These attributes do not have equality matching rules, but probably should. I add 'EQUALITY distinguishedNameMatch' to them in bconfig.c. supportedControl This attribute does not have an equality matching rule, but probably should. I add 'EQUALITY objectIdentifierMatch' to it in schema_prep.c. readOnly This attribute does not have an equality matching rule, I don't know if it should. I NULLed the nval passed to attr_merge_one in back-monitor/database.c. default_referral: In rootdse.c root_dse_info() I change attr_merge to attr_merge_normalize for default_referral, since it has an equality matching rule. There doesn't seem to be a memory context in use here. I suspect this normalization might result in memory leakage unless followed by a free in root_dse_info()? Also, bconfig.c config_build_attrs() contains this logic which calls attr_merge_normalize() for values that don't need normalization. attr_merge_normalize won't normalize them though, so it should be fine: if ( c->rvalue_nvals ) attr_merge(e, ct[i].ad, c->rvalue_vals, c->rvalue_nvals); else attr_merge_normalize(e, ct[i].ad, c->rvalue_vals, NULL); > I don't have time at the moment to chase them all down. > Anyone else want to jump in here? If not, we may have to push this back a bit. > Note that this patch will probably require a fair number of databases to be > reloaded. The attributes listed above tend to agree with that, but if they really were not being normalized before storage I'm surprised that the original assertion wasn't hit more often? -- Thanks, Sean Burford [View Less]
