rpc.gssd: segfault at 0 error 4 in libc-2.18.so
Last modified: 2015-02-17 12:47:49 EST
Description of problem: I'm seeing these occaisionally: lynx/var/log/messages-20130917:Sep 11 15:58:26 lynx kernel: [ 657.517986] rpc.gssd[297]: segfault at 0 ip b741262a sp bff26bcc error 4 in libc-2.18.so[b7395000+1b8000] orca/var/log/messages-20131014:Oct 9 16:23:21 orca kernel: [ 535.072792] rpc.gssd[285]: segfault at 0 ip b74a672a sp bfac49ac error 4 in libc-2.18.so[b7429000+1b8000] pacas/var/log/messages:Oct 23 14:08:11 pacas kernel: [ 258.369765] rpc.gssd[364]: segfault at 0 ip 00007fe4ae47c32a sp 00007fffe8a00348 error 4 in libc-2.18.so[7fe4ae340000+1b4000] vmf20/var/log/messages-20130922:Sep 16 16:09:04 vmf20 kernel: [ 2481.268610] rpc.gssd[255]: segfault at 0 ip 00007fe1086a8bca sp 00007fff43f0f378 error 4 in libc-2.18.so[7fe108624000+1b4000] Note that I'm not making use of kerberos at the moment so it's not that big of a deal (and perhaps that is the cause). I probably should just disable nfs-secure.service. But it probably also shouldn't segfault. I also see: [ 258.369765] rpc.gssd[364]: segfault at 0 ip 00007fe4ae47c32a sp 00007fffe8a00348 error 4 in libc-2.18.so[7fe4ae340000+1b4000] [ 258.370028] NFS: nfs4_discover_server_trunking unhandled error -32. Exiting with error EIO [ 788.168996] RPC: AUTH_GSS upcall timed out. Please check user daemon is running. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nfs-utils-1.2.8-6.0.fc20.x86_64
Disabling nfs-secure seems to be causing problems with automount not being able to mount directories the first time.
I'm seeing this also every time I log in after a reboot. But I am using kerberos so this is a pretty big deal. After logging in I have to issue a: # systemctl restart rpcgssd to get a functioning rpc.gssd. I would simply have just filed the abrt report but after generating the stack trace it reports that it's un-usable and refused to go any further. Opening the abrt working directory and trying to get a stack trace from the corefile manually (after installing the debuginfos) yields: $ gdb /usr/sbin/rpc.gssd coredump GNU gdb (GDB) Fedora 7.7.1-13.fc20 Copyright (C) 2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Off the top of my head: Might be worth running rpc.gssd with -vvv to get more logging. There's also a -F that will let you run it by hand in the foreground to make it easier to strace or debug. Is this still on Fedora 19?
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. 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 19 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.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 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.
