Backtrace of the SMBD and GLUSTER communication

Description of problem:

I have this setup: 4-Node Glusterfs v5.5 Cluster, using SAMBA/CTDB v4.8 to access the volumes via vfs-glusterfs-plugin (each node has a VIP)

I was testing this failover scenario:

1. Start Writing 940 GB with small files (64K-100K)from a Win10 Client to node1
2. During the write process I hardly shutdown node1  (where the client is connect via VIP) by turn off the power

My expectation is, that the write process stops and after a while the Win10 Client offers me a Retry, so I can continue the write on different node (which has now the VIP of node1). In past time I did this observation (with Gluster v3.12), but now the system shows a strange bahaviour:

The Win10 Client do nothing and the Explorer freezes, in the backend CTDB can not perform the failover and throws errors. The glusterd from node2 and node3 logs this messages:

In my oponion Samba/CTDB can not perform the failover correctly and continue the write process because glusterfs didn't released the lock. But its not clear to me

Additional info:
I made a network trace on the Windows machine.
There it is visible that the client tries several times a TreeConnect.
This Tree Connect is the connection to a share. Samba answers this attempt with NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL, which was unfortunately a not very meaningful message.

Similarly, I "caught" the smbd in the debugger and was able to pull a backtrace while hangs in the futex-call we found in / proc / <pid> / stack. The backtrace smbd-gluster-bt.txt (attached) shows that the smbd hangs in the gluster module. You can see in Frame 9 that Samba is hanging in the TCON (smbd_smb2_tree_connect). In frame 2 the function appears
glfs_init () whose call you can find in source3 / modules / vfs_glusterfs.c, line 342 (in samba master). Then comes another frame in the gluster-lib and then immediately the pthread_condwait call, which ends up in the kernel in a futex call (see / proc / <pid> / stack).

Quintessence: Samba is waiting for gluster, and obviously pretty much 3 seconds. Gluster then gives an error and the client tries again. And obviously for 8 minutes.

Additional information: In the section "Description of problem" above there are shown log entries from glusterd while failover happens. These logs are from 2019-04-16. But the backtrace was created on 2019-04-30 and the attached logs of the glusterfs-plugin from all nodes contains information from 2019-04-30. Don't get irritated! The messages in glusterd are reproducible so one can find them also in 2019-04-30.

Did you get a chance to test this situation with later GlusterFS and/or Samba releases?

Comment 6 david.spisla 2019-11-18 15:57:57 UTC
No, not yet unfortunately
