https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9378 Issue ID: 9378 Summary: Crash in mdb_put() / mdb_page_dirty() Product: LMDB Version: 0.9.26 Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: liblmdb Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: nate(a)kde.org Target Milestone: --- The KDE Baloo file indexer uses lmdb as its database (source code available at https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/baloo). Our most common crash, with over 100 duplicate bug reports, is in lmdb. Here's the bug report tracking it: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389848. The version of lmdb does not seem to matter much. We have bug reports from Arch users with lmdb 0.9.26 as well as bug reports from people using many earlier versions. Here's an example backtrace, taken from https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=426195: #6 __GI_raise (sig=sig@entry=6) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:50 #7 0x00007f3c0bbb9859 in __GI_abort () at abort.c:79 #8 0x00007f3c0b23ba83 in mdb_assert_fail (env=0x55e2ad710600, expr_txt=expr_txt@entry=0x7f3c0b23e02f "rc == 0", func=func@entry=0x7f3c0b23e978 <__func__.7221> "mdb_page_dirty", line=line@entry=2127, file=0x7f3c0b23e010 "mdb.c") at mdb.c:1542 #9 0x00007f3c0b2306d5 in mdb_page_dirty (mp=<optimized out>, txn=0x55e2ad7109f0) at mdb.c:2114 #10 mdb_page_dirty (txn=0x55e2ad7109f0, mp=<optimized out>) at mdb.c:2114 #11 0x00007f3c0b231966 in mdb_page_alloc (num=num@entry=1, mp=mp@entry=0x7f3c0727aee8, mc=<optimized out>) at mdb.c:2308 #12 0x00007f3c0b231ba3 in mdb_page_touch (mc=mc@entry=0x7f3c0727b420) at mdb.c:2495 #13 0x00007f3c0b2337c7 in mdb_cursor_touch (mc=mc@entry=0x7f3c0727b420) at mdb.c:6523 #14 0x00007f3c0b2368f9 in mdb_cursor_put (mc=mc@entry=0x7f3c0727b420, key=key@entry=0x7f3c0727b810, data=data@entry=0x7f3c0727b820, flags=flags@entry=0) at mdb.c:6657 #15 0x00007f3c0b23976b in mdb_put (txn=0x55e2ad7109f0, dbi=5, key=key@entry=0x7f3c0727b810, data=data@entry=0x7f3c0727b820, flags=flags@entry=0) at mdb.c:9022 #16 0x00007f3c0c7124c5 in Baloo::DocumentDB::put (this=this@entry=0x7f3c0727b960, docId=<optimized out>, docId@entry=27041423333263366, list=...) at ./src/engine/documentdb.cpp:79 #17 0x00007f3c0c743da7 in Baloo::WriteTransaction::replaceDocument (this=0x55e2ad7ea340, doc=..., operations=operations@entry=...) at ./src/engine/writetransaction.cpp:232 #18 0x00007f3c0c736b16 in Baloo::Transaction::replaceDocument (this=this@entry=0x7f3c0727bc10, doc=..., operations=operations@entry=...) at ./src/engine/transaction.cpp:295 #19 0x000055e2ac5d6cbc in Baloo::UnindexedFileIndexer::run (this=0x55e2ad79ca20) at /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtCore/qrefcount.h:60 #20 0x00007f3c0c177f82 in QThreadPoolThread::run (this=0x55e2ad717f20) at thread/qthreadpool.cpp:99 #21 0x00007f3c0c1749d2 in QThreadPrivate::start (arg=0x55e2ad717f20) at thread/qthread_unix.cpp:361 #22 0x00007f3c0b29d609 in start_thread (arg=<optimized out>) at pthread_create.c:477 #23 0x00007f3c0bcb6103 in clone () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/clone.S:95 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 9513] New: Enhanced debug output
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 12 Feb '26

12 Feb '26

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9513 Issue ID: 9513 Summary: Enhanced debug output Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.5 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: hyc(a)openldap.org Target Milestone: --- While debugging ITS#9479 I needed more information on which threads were doing what actions. Also, when looking for delays/hangs/race conditions, the 1-second granularity of the debug msg timestamp was inadequate. And also, some of the debug output for the Search operation was being done in separate Debug calls for a single line of output. This gets jumbled up pretty badly if other threads are printing output as well. New patch set will extend the debug timestamp to have fractional seconds too; it will use clock_gettime for nanosecond resolution if available, otherwise use gettimeofday for microsecond resolution. Also tweak the Search debug output to only use one Debug invocation per line of output. This is MR!279. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 9584] New: cn=config replication ops/refresh should pause server

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9584 Issue ID: 9584 Summary: cn=config replication ops/refresh should pause server Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: ondra(a)mistotebe.net Target Milestone: --- Looking into this crash: https://git.openldap.org/openldap/openldap/-/jobs/7286 The thread in question is running a plain syncrepl refresh while another thread seems to have done the same. This thread fetched the entryUUID attribute of the 'cn=config' entry as 'a' and in the meantime, that entry has been rewritten, with 'a' presumably cleaned up and returned to the pool, so addressing a->a_nvals[0] is a NULL-dereference now. This might or might not be related to the fix in ITS#8102. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 9652] New: Add "tee" capability to load balancer
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 04 Dec '25

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9652 Issue ID: 9652 Summary: Add "tee" capability to load balancer Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: lloadd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: mhardin(a)symas.com Target Milestone: --- This is a request for an enhancement that would add a "tee" or "fan-out" capability to load balancer, where received operations are sent to two or more destinations simultaneously. The primary goal or the enhancement is to make it possible to keep multiple independent and likely dissimilar directory systems in lock-step with each other over hours, days, or possibly even weeks. The enhancement would not necessarily need to include a mechanism for converging the target systems should they become out of sync. This is not intended to be a replication solution, rather it is viewed more as a "copy" solution intended to be used for specific short-term tasks that need multiple directory systems to be exactly synchronized but where replication is not desirable or even possible. At least two uses come to mind: 1. Test harnesses, evaluating side-by-side operation of separate directory systems over time 2. Directory system transition validation harnesses 3. (maybe) Part of a test harness to record or replay LDAP workloads * Other uses? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 9564] New: Race condition with freeing the spilled pages from transaction
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 04 Nov '25

04 Nov '25

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9564 Issue ID: 9564 Summary: Race condition with freeing the spilled pages from transaction Product: LMDB Version: 0.9.29 Hardware: Other OS: Mac OS Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: liblmdb Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: kriszyp(a)gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 825 --> https://bugs.openldap.org/attachment.cgi?id=825&action=edit Free the spilled pages and dirty overflows before unlocking the write mutex The spilled pages (a transaction's mt_spill_pgs) is freed *after* a write transaction's mutex is unlocked (in mdb.master3). This can result in a race condition where a second transaction can start and subsequently assign a new mt_spill_pgs list to the transaction structure that it reuses. If this occurs after the first transaction unlocks the mutex, but before it performs the free operation on mt_spill_pgs, then the first transaction will end up calling a free on the same spilled page list as the second transaction, resulting in a double free (and crash). It would seem to be an extremely unlikely scenario to actually happen, since the free call is literally the next operation after the mutex is unlocked, and the second transaction would need to make it all the way to the point of saving the freelist before a page spill list is likely to be allocated. Consequently, this probably has rarely happened. However, one of our users (see https://github.com/DoctorEvidence/lmdb-store/issues/48 for the discussion) has noticed this occurring, and it seems that it may be particularly likely to happen on MacOS on the new M1 silicon. Perhaps there is some peculiarity to how the threads are more likely to yield execution after a mutex unlock, I am not sure. I was able to reproduce the issue by intentionally manipulating the timing (sleeping before the free) to verify that the race condition is technically feasible, and apparently this can happen "in the wild" on MacOS, at least with an M1. It is also worth noting that this is due to (or a regression from) the fix for ITS#9155 (https://github.com/LMDB/lmdb/commit/cb256f409bb53efeda4ac69ee8165a0b4fc1a277) where the free call was moved outside the conditional (for having a parent) that had previously never been executed after the mutex is unlocked, but now is called after the unlock. Anyway, the solution is relatively simple, the free call simply has to be moved above the unlock. In my patch, I also moved the free call for mt_dirty_ovs. I am not sure what OVERFLOW_NOTYET/mt_dirty_ovs is for, but presumably it should be handled the same. This could alternately be solved by saving the reference to these lists before unlocking, and freeing after unlocking, which would slightly decrease the amount of processing within the mutex guarded code. Let me know if you prefer a patch that does that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 9356] New: Add list of peerSIDs to consumer cookie to reduce cross traffic
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 15 Oct '24

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9356 Issue ID: 9356 Summary: Add list of peerSIDs to consumer cookie to reduce cross traffic Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.5 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: quanah(a)openldap.org Target Milestone: --- If we add a list of peersids to the cookie, each consumer can tell the providers who else the consumers talk to and then the provider can omit sending updates to that consumer, originating from those peers There's some special handling needed if a connection dies If a consumer loses one of its peer connections, and after N retries is still not connected, it should send a new cookie to its remaining peers saying "here's my new peer list" with the missing one removed. Likewise, if a retry eventually connects again, it can send a new cookie again Make that peer list reset configurable in the syncrepl config stanza. This can help account for end admin knowledge that some links may be more or less stable than other ones. The idea here is that if one of your other peers can still see the missing peer, they can start routing updates to you again It should abandon all existing persist sessions and send a new sync search with the new cookie to all remaining peers For consumer side, also means adding the sid for a given provider into the syncrepl stanza to save on having to try and discover the peer sid. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
