Description Andre Costa 2017-08-11 22:05:26 UTC
Description of problem:
ecryptfs-mount-private and ecryptfs-umount-private both increment/decrement /dev/shm/ecryptfs-$USER-Private even if they fail

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ecryptfs-utils-111-2.fc25.x86_64

How reproducible:
When ecryptfs-mount-private fails because passphrase signature is not on root's keyring (see bug #1480793)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to mount ~/.Private if mount passphrase is not on root's keyring
2.
3.

Actual results:
mount operation fails, and /dev/shm/ecryptfs-$USER-Private is incremented

Expected results:
Since the operation failed, /dev/shm/ecryptfs-$USER-Private should not be incremented. Now, trying to umount ~/.Private gives an error:

~ ecryptfs-umount-private 
Sessions still open, not unmounting

Additional info:
The error is cumulative: the more I run ecryptfs-mount-private, the more the counter is incremented. On the other hand, ecryptfs-umount-private also decrements the counter even if it fails:

~ ecryptfs-mount-private 
Enter your login passphrase:
Inserted auth tok with sig [XXX] into the user session keyring
mount: No such file or directory

~ cat /dev/shm/ecryptfs-costa-Private 
1

~ ecryptfs-mount-private 
Enter your login passphrase:
Inserted auth tok with sig [XXX] into the user session keyring
mount: No such file or directory

~ cat /dev/shm/ecryptfs-costa-Private 
3

~ ecryptfs-umount-private 
Sessions still open, not unmounting
~ cat /dev/shm/ecryptfs-costa-Private 
2

~ ecryptfs-umount-private 
Sessions still open, not unmounting
~ cat /dev/shm/ecryptfs-costa-Private 
1

~ ecryptfs-umount-private 

~ cat /dev/shm/ecryptfs-costa-Private 
0

~ ecryptfs-umount-private 

~ cat /dev/shm/ecryptfs-costa-Private

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-03 08:19:36 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '26'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-29 11:45:17 UTC
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
