Description Noriko Hosoi 2010-02-22 18:54:45 UTC
Description of problem:
I think the problem is in id2entry_delete:
   if (entryrdn_get_switch())
   {
       ldbm_instance *inst = (ldbm_instance *)be->be_instance_info;
       Slapi_DN *sdn = slapi_sdn_dup(slapi_entry_get_sdn_const(e->ep_entry));
       struct backdn *bdn = backdn_init(sdn, e->ep_id, 1);
       CACHE_REMOVE(&inst->inst_dncache, bdn);
       CACHE_RETURN(&inst->inst_dncache, &bdn);
   }


backdn_init creates the backdn, but sets the refcnt to 0.  then CACHE_RETURN calls dncache_return().  This triggers the assertion because refcnt is 0.
       ASSERT((*bdn)->ep_refcnt > 0);
       if (! --(*bdn)->ep_refcnt) {
           if ((*bdn)->ep_state & ENTRY_STATE_DELETED) {
               backdn_free(bdn);
           } else {
               lru_add(cache, (void *)*bdn);
               /* the cache might be overfull... */
               if (CACHE_FULL(cache)) {
                   dnflush = dncache_flush(cache);
               }
           }
       }

Comment 1 Noriko Hosoi 2010-02-22 19:48:32 UTC
The previous problem was reported by rmeggins.  (Thank you!!)

When deleting an entry, if the dn is in the dn cache, it should be removed.  The above code is trying to remove it regardless of the existence in the dn cache.

File:
 ldap/servers/slapd/back-ldbm/id2entry.c

Descriptino: When deleting an entry, if the dn is in the dn cache,
it should be removed.  The original code was trying to remove it
regardless of the existence in the dn cache. Fixed it so that
only when the dn is in the cache, it's removed.

Comment 6 Noriko Hosoi 2011-07-20 21:34:43 UTC
ASSERT is enabled only when the ds is built with --enable-debug.
I rebuilt the server with --enable-debug, and ran delete operations.
The assertion did not fail.
