Two issues in socket_poller, the polling function used by SSL own-thread, caused GlusterD to crash when management encryption is enabled. Issue 1 ------- socket_poller calls functions which require THIS to be set. But, THIS was being set conditionally. Because of this, functions could sometimes be called without THIS being set. For example, rpc_transport_notify could be called for an accepted client socket without THIS being set, as THIS was only set it the transport wasn't yet connected. This would cause the process to crash when THIS was accessed by the called functions. Issue 2 ------- DISCONNECT notify was being sent on the listener transport instead of the client transport. The DISCONNECT event was converted to a LISTENER_DEAD event in rpcsvc_handle_disconnect, as it could not find the listener socket of the listener socket. GlusterD was notified of a LISTENER_DEAD event instead of a DISCONNECT and failed to remove the client transport from its xprt_list. The transport would subsequently be freed, leaving the xprt_list with a corrupted/invalid entry. Later, when GlusterD would iterate over the xprt_list to send notifications, it would crash when the invalid entry was accessed.

Fix for this BZ is already present in a GlusterFS release. You can find clone of this BZ, fixed in a GlusterFS release and closed. Hence closing this mainline BZ as well.
This bug is getting closed because a release has been made available that should address the reported issue. In case the problem is still not fixed with glusterfs-3.8.0, please open a new bug report. glusterfs-3.8.0 has been announced on the Gluster mailinglists [1], packages for several distributions should become available in the near future. Keep an eye on the Gluster Users mailinglist [2] and the update infrastructure for your distribution.
