Description Jiffin 2016-06-17 12:51:17 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1344714 +++

Description of problem:

The struct callback_inode_arg is a variable used by upcall infra for populating upcall entries. This variable is allocated using GF_CALLOC in glfs_h_poll_cache_invalidation(), but it also freedin FSAL_GLUSTER using free.
This will result in a crash when we try to remove a file from mount

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mainline

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. enable nfs-ganesha and export a volume 
2. mount the volume
3. create a file and delete it from the mount

Actual results:
ganesha server crashes

Expected results:
should not crash

    Upcall/cache-invalidation: Use parent stbuf while updating parent entry
    
    For *create*  fops (CREATE, MKDIR, MKNOD), we invalidate the parent
    entry. Hence send parent attributes in the stat field.
    
    Also "UP_PARENT_DENTRY_FLAGS" has to be set only for the fops which shall
    result in two invalidations requests - one for the inode on which fop is
    being performed and another on parent entry.
    
    In case of CREATE/MKDIR/MKNOD fops, there shall be only one invalidation
    request sent, that too on parent inode. We send invalidation directly on
    parent inode's gfid. So there is no necessity to set these flags which
    when set shall endup invalidating the parent's parent entry.

    libglusterfs: add gf_get_mem_type()
    
    gfapi needs to provide a function towards applications to free memory
    that it allocated. Depending on how the application is compiled/linked,
    it could use a different memory allocator than Gluster itself. Therefore
    it is not safe for gfapi to request applications to free memory with
    'standard' free().
    
    Examples for this are Gluster allocated structures with GF_CALLOC() when
    memory accounting is enabled (the default). Some gfapi functions use
    malloc() to allocate memory as a workaround, but the free() from the
    jemalloc implementation should not be combined with the malloc() from
    glibc.

    gfapi: redesign the public interface for upcall consumers
    
    The glfs_callback_arg and glfs_callback_inode_arg were allocated by
    gfapi, and expected to be free()'d by the application. However it is not
    reasonable to expect that applications use the same memory allocator to
    as the compiled libgfapi.so. For instance, it is possible that gfapi
    uses glibc malloc/free, and an application like NFS-Ganesha the versions
    from jemalloc. Mismatching of the malloc() and free() functions causes
    segmentation faults at best.
    
    In order to prevent problems like this in the future, the API for
    applications that consume upcalls has been remodeled. Any of the
    structures that gfapi allocates, should be free'd with glfs_free(). The
    members of the structures can not be accessed directly anymore, each
    has its own function to access now.
    
    Correcting the naming of the functions, structures and constants is a
    continuation of commit 2775dc64101ed37c8d9809bf9852dbf0746ee2b6. These
    new improvements not only have correct prefixes for the functions and
    structures, the naming also reflects more to the upcall framework and
    does not use "callback" anymore.

    Once difference with the version of this change in other branches is
    that leases are not included in glusterfs-3.7. Hence there is a little
    change that drops the handling of GF_UPCALL_RECALL_LEASE.
