[Issue 9564] New: Race condition with freeing the spilled pages from transaction

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 9343] New: Expand ppolicy policy configuration to allow URL filter

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9343 Issue ID: 9343 Summary: Expand ppolicy policy configuration to allow URL filter Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.5 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: overlays Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: quanah(a)openldap.org Target Milestone: --- Currently, ppolicy only supports a single global default policy, and past that any policies must be manually added to a given user entry if they are supposed to have something other than the default policy. Also, some sites want no default policy, and only a specific subset to have a policy applied to them. For both of these cases, it would be helpful if it were possible to configure a policy to apply to a set of users via a URL similar to the way we handle creating groups of users in dynlist -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

Thus it would be nice if cn=monitor provides more metrics. 1. Overall connection count per listener starting at 0 when started. This would be a simple counter added to: entries cn=Listener 0,cn=Listeners,cn=Monitor 2. Counter for the various "deferring" messages separated by the reason for deferring. 3. Counters for all possible result codes. In my mtail program I also label it with the result type. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Issue 10020] New: dynlist's @groupOfUniqueNames is considered only for the first configuration line
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 23 May '25

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10020 Issue ID: 10020 Summary: dynlist's @groupOfUniqueNames is considered only for the first configuration line Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.5.13 Hardware: x86_64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: overlays Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: msl(a)touk.pl Target Milestone: --- If we consider the following configuration of dynlist: {0}toukPerson labeledURI uniqueMember+memberOf@groupOfUniqueNames {1}groupOfURLs memberURL uniqueMember+dgMemberOf@groupOfUniqueNames The {0} entry will correctly populate the memberOf relatively to static group membership. The {1} entry will produce dgMemberOf with dynamic group membership correctly (based on memberURL query) but it will not populate static entries IF {0} entry in configuration is present. IF I remove {0} from the dynlist configuration - or - remove @groupOfUniqueNames part from this configuration line, then both dynamic and static entries will be populated correctly for {1}. So the effects are as follows on some user entry: if both {0} and {1} are present - {1} produced only dynamic groups: memberOf: cn=adm,ou=touk,ou=group,dc=touk,dc=pl memberOf: cn=touk,ou=touk,ou=group,dc=touk,dc=pl dgMemberOf: cn=dyntouk,ou=dyntest,ou=group,dc=touk,dc=pl if both {0} and {1} are present and @groupOfUniqueNames is removed from {0} - {1} produced static+dynamic groups: dgMemberOf: cn=adm,ou=touk,ou=group,dc=touk,dc=pl dgMemberOf: cn=touk,ou=touk,ou=group,dc=touk,dc=pl dgMemberOf: cn=dyntouk,ou=dyntest,ou=group,dc=touk,dc=pl If only {1} is present - {1} produced static+dynamic groups: dgMemberOf: cn=adm,ou=touk,ou=group,dc=touk,dc=pl dgMemberOf: cn=touk,ou=touk,ou=group,dc=touk,dc=pl dgMemberOf: cn=dyntouk,ou=dyntest,ou=group,dc=touk,dc=pl For completness - if only {0} is present: memberOf: cn=adm,ou=touk,ou=group,dc=touk,dc=pl memberOf: cn=touk,ou=touk,ou=group,dc=touk,dc=pl I would expect this behavior to be correct for the first case - {0} and {1}. memberOf: cn=adm,ou=touk,ou=group,dc=touk,dc=pl memberOf: cn=touk,ou=touk,ou=group,dc=touk,dc=pl dgMemberOf: cn=dyntouk,ou=dyntest,ou=group,dc=touk,dc=pl dgMemberOf: cn=adm,ou=touk,ou=group,dc=touk,dc=pl dgMemberOf: cn=touk,ou=touk,ou=group,dc=touk,dc=pl -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 10024] New: MDB_PREVSNAPSHOT broken
by openldap-its＠openldap.org 21 Feb '25

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10024 Issue ID: 10024 Summary: MDB_PREVSNAPSHOT broken Product: LMDB Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: liblmdb Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: markus(a)objectbox.io Target Milestone: --- It seems that the patch #9496 had a negative side effect on MDB_PREVSNAPSHOT. In certain cases, when opening the DB using MDB_PREVSNAPSHOT, the previous (2nd latest) commit is not selected. Instead, reads show that the latest commit was selected voiding the effect of MDB_PREVSNAPSHOT. I observed this in our test cases a while back. Today, I was finally able to reproduce it and debug into it. When creating the transaction to read the data, I debugged into mdb_txn_renew0. Here, ti (MDB_txninfo; env->me_txns) was non-NULL. However, ti->mti_txnid was 0 (!) and thus txn->mt_txnid was set to 0. That's the reason for always selecting the first (index 0) meta page inside mdb_txn_renew0: meta = env->me_metas[txn->mt_txnid & 1]; This line occurs twice (once for read txn and once for write txn; it affects both txn types). Thus, the chances of MDB_PREVSNAPSHOT selecting the correct meta page is 50-50. It's only correct if the first meta page (index 0) is the older one. I believe that this is related to #9496 because the patch, that was provided there, removed the initialization of "env->me_txns->mti_txnid" in mdb_env_open2. This would explain why txn->mt_txnid inside mdb_txn_renew0 was set to 0. I can confirm that adding back the following two lines back in fixes MDB_PREVSNAPSHOT: if (env->me_txns) env->me_txns->mti_txnid = meta.mm_txnid; The said patch including the removal of these two lines was applied in the commit(s) "ITS#9496 fix mdb_env_open bug from #8704" (Howard Chu on 09.04.21). I hope this information is useful to find a suitable fix. Please let me know if you have questions. Also, I'd be happy to help confirming a potential fix with our test suite. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
