790036 – xinetd leaking file descriptors

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Vojtech Vitek 2012-02-13 14:25:59 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #702670 +++

Description of problem:
xinetd is filling the log file up with:
May  6 09:22:54 ccfg-node1 xinetd[29679]: 25 descriptors still set
May  6 09:22:54 ccfg-node1 xinetd[29679]: 25 descriptors still set

May  6 09:22:54 ccfg-node1 xinetd[29679]: 25 descriptors still set



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@ccfg-node1 logs]# rpm -q xinetd
xinetd-2.3.14-33.fc14.x86_64


How reproducible:
40,000 cable modems hitting the daytime service (UDP port 37)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable daytime in /etc/xinetd.d/daytime*
2. Turn 40,000 cable modems loose on said daytime service
3. Profit!!!
  
Actual results:
The log file grows at an unsustainable rate (6GB in 20 minutes!)


Expected results:
Peace, serenity and a cup of coffee...oh and daytime acting in a sane fashion.


Additional info:
This looks similar to bug 573764.

--- Additional comment from jsynacek on 2012-01-11 14:44:19 CET ---

It seems that xinetd is leaving a file descriptor open everytime it hits the cps limit and temporarily shuts down the service. You can work around this by setting "cps" in xinetd.conf to a very high value, for example like this:

cps 40000 10

This doesn't solve the root cause of the problem, though. I'm not sure how to fix this yet.
I'm also bumping the version for this to 16, as this bug is present in the latest version of xinetd.

--- Additional comment from jsynacek on 2012-02-01 07:31:54 CET ---

I'm not sure if I understand correctly. Make sure you have the latest version of xinetd (2.3.14-40 in f16; e.g. by running 'rpm -q xinetd'). If not, please update to the latest version ('yum update xinetd' without enabling testing repos, as this package is stable) and try again. Your problem should be solved by this update.

I'm unable to reproduce this issue.

Is ftp service the only one enabled in xinetd?
In what scenario can you see the problem appear?
You can also run xinetd in debug mode (xinetd -d) to see if there's any more info present.

Comment 1 jeff 2012-02-19 02:54:30 UTC

Still happens on 3.2.5-3 Kernel

Comment 3 Jan Synacek 2012-02-21 13:38:53 UTC

I'm still unable to reproduce. Please retest with vsftpd.service disabled and
stopped before running xinetd. Additionally please run xinetd with -d parameter
and attach the debug output.

Comment 4 jeff 2012-02-21 14:56:28 UTC

I believe vsftpd is what causes xinetd to loop.

At the moment vsftpd will not start and xinetd is running normally.

Working on resolving 795568 to get vsftpd back...

Will update when vsftpd is back.

Comment 6 jeff 2012-02-23 23:26:13 UTC

Ok updated to the current kernel 3.2.7-1 and now vsftpd starts on reboot but xinetd is also spinning.

stopped and started vsftpd and xinetd still is spinning.

Comment 7 Jan Synacek 2012-03-02 07:48:54 UTC

Ok, I think I finally have a clue what is going on.

This error is very specific. The vsftpd has to be running prior to running xinetd with vsftpd enabled. Here is a snippet of xinetd debug output:

12/3/2@08:38:58: ERROR: 19217 {activate_normal} bind failed (Address already in use (errno = 98)). service = ftp
12/3/2@08:38:58: ERROR: 19217 {cnf_start_services} Service ftp failed to start and is deactivated.
12/3/2@08:38:58: DEBUG: 19217 {cnf_start_services} pfds_last = 3, services_started = 2

If you want to run vsftpd via xinetd, you have to configure it with 'listen=no' in vsftpd.conf and disable its start via systemctl. Consider it a temporary solution until I find a fix to this issue.

Comment 9 jeff 2012-03-02 22:55:10 UTC

Jan,

Thanks. This is a two for one as if you look at my notes in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=795568 vsftpd has an error in the config file processing if you set listen=NO it does not start.  You must in fact comment out that line or run it standalone.

Comment 10 Jan Synacek 2012-03-05 07:06:27 UTC

I commented on #795568. The config file processing is ok.

Comment 20 Jan Synacek 2012-07-26 07:29:02 UTC

Additional info - how to test:

1) enable daytime service by editing /etc/xinetd.d/daytime-dgram
   + set cps to a low value, e.g. "cps 5 1"

2) start xinetd

3) hit it hard: 
   $ yes | nc -u localhost 13

4) [optional] try enabling more services and do 3) + test funcionality of the other services and see if they respond well when xinetd is under such load
