Lyle thanks for the update, has this issue always existed, or just in v4.1 and 4.2?<br>
<br>
It seems that the likely hood of this event is very low but of course you encourage people to update asap.

Hi, I understood the failure to occur requires that the RPC payload of<br>
the RPC resent without actual header can be mistaken for a valid RPC<br>
header. The resend mechanism is probably not considering what the actual<br>
content/target the RPC has.<br>
So, in principle, the RPC could be to update a data block, or a metadata<br>
block - so it may hit just a single data file or corrupt your entire file<br>
system.<br>
However, I think the likelihood that the RPC content can go as valid RPC<br>
header is very low.<br>

does this corrupt the entire filesystem or just the open files that are<br>

Bob,<br>
<br>
The problem may occur when the TCP connection is broken between two nodes.<br>
While in the vast majority of the cases when data stops flowing through<br>
the connection, the result is one of the nodes getting expelled, there are<br>
cases where the TCP connection simply breaks -- that is relatively rare<br>
but happens on occasion. There is logic in the mmfsd daemon to detect the<br>
disconnection and attempt to reconnect to the destination in question. If<br>
the reconnect is successful then steps are taken to recover the state kept<br>
by the daemons, and that includes resending some RPCs that were in flight<br>
when the disconnection took place.<br>
<br>
As the flash describes, a problem in the logic to resend some RPCs was<br>
causing one of the RPC headers to be omitted, resulting in the RPC data to<br>
be interpreted as the (missing) header. Normally the result is an assert<br>
on the receiving end, like the "logAssertFailed: !"Request and queue size<br>
mismatch" assert described in the flash. However, it's at least<br>
conceivable (though expected to very rare) that the content of the RPC<br>
data could be interpreted as a valid RPC header. In the case of an RPC<br>
which involves data transfer between an NSD client and NSD server, that<br>
might result in incorrect data being written to some NSD device.<br>
<br>
Disconnect/reconnect scenarios appear to be uncommon. An entry like<br>
<br>
[N] Reconnected to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx nodename <c0n0><br>
<br>
in mmfs.log would be an indication that a reconnect has occurred. By<br>
itself, the reconnect will not imply that data or the file system was<br>
corrupted, since that will depend on what RPCs were pending when the<br>
connection happened. In the case the assert above is hit, no corruption is<br>
expected, since the daemon will go down before incorrect data gets<br>
written.<br>
<br>
Reconnects involving an NSD server are those which present the highest<br>
risk, given that NSD-related RPCs are used to write data into NSDs<br>
<br>
Even on clusters that have not been subjected to disconnects/reconnects<br>
before, such events might still happen in the future in case of network<br>
glitches. It's then recommended that an efix for the problem be applied in<br>
a timely fashion.<br>
