Rebooted the node after upgrade then try to join the 5.2 cluster. The 5.3 node will join and then it will leave the cluster after it joins. Running the join from the commandline an assertion is thrown: $ /sbin/ccsd $ cman_tool -d join Then the last message is: [TOTEM] entering OPERATIONAL state. [CMAN ] quorum regained, resuming activity [CLM ] got nodejoin message 192.168.1.163 [CLM ] got nodejoin message 192.168.1.164 [CLM ] got nodejoin message 192.168.1.165 aisexec: ckpt.c:3961: message_handler_req_exec_ckpt_sync_checkpoint_refcount: Assertion `checkpoint != ((void *)0)' failed. Since openais has died then everything else fails such as fenced, groupd. They will get failed to communicate or "cman_init" errors. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade a Node to 5.3 2. Reboot 3. Join Cluster of 5.2 nodes Actual Results: openais dies and nodes leaves the cluster. Expected Results: Node should join the cluster and stay a member. I have been able to recreate with a cluster of xen virtual machines. Note: If I run cman_join -d join twice in a row it will succeed sometimes. $ cman_tool -d join $ cman_tool -d join
I took a fresh install of 3 nodes. lowest node id was 5.3, second and third highest node id are 5.2. I started cman on 5.2 nodes with service cman start. then I started cman on 5.3 node with no segfault or crash. Could you be more specific in the steps you take to reproduce the issue? The part about the platform of the lowest node id is important since it indicates who is responsible for synchronization. Regards -steve
Well I'm embarrassed to say this defect shouldn't have made it through engineering unit testing but it still doesn't reproduce on my hardware. Thanks for access to your test cluster. Anyway, I have a patch for the problem. Immediately clone a 5.3.z bugzilla and we will release it in the new 5.3.z upcoming release of openais. the 5.3.z release is pending so there is some urgency here. The root of the problem is checkpoints of type GLOBALID are rejected in checkpoint sync, but not in section sync or refcount sync. the globalid checkpoint is virtual, meaning it doesn't really consume a checkpoint position in the system. At the beginning of the sync algo, the globalid sets the global checkpoint id, but then ignores the rest of the message, not actually creating message. this same check must be added to refcount and section synchronization to be backward compatible. The 5.3 code only sends this checkpoint sync at the start of synchronization, whereas the old sync code would actually create a checkpoint for the section. Then when refcount went to refcount the "virtual checkpoint", it wouldn't find it and assert. Thanks for your help Regards -steve
