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.

Summary: cfg service: When shutdown cannot be processed immediately, it's not possible to repeat

Fixed In Version: corosync-1.4.1-16.el6 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: In very rare conditions, running corosync-cfgtool -H. Consequence: corosync-cfgtool -H returns error 6 (CS_ERR_TRY_AGAIN). When command is called again, error (CS_ERR_EXISTS) is always returned. Fix: corosync-cfgtool is changed to automatically retry (so no longer error 6 - CS_ERR_TRY_AGAIN). cfg library now allows call shutdown function multiple times. Result: corosync-cfgtool -H works all time.

Proposed patch - part 1 - When send_shutdown fails, clear shutdown_con

Description of problem:
When send_shutdown fails (usually CS_ERR_TRY_AGAIN), shutdown_con is still set, and next call will check that shutdown_con is set and refuses to shutdown. Also in corosync-cfgtool, shutdown should be repeated if err = CS_ERR_TRY_AGAIN.

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

How reproducible:
0.000001% with blackbox testing

Steps to Reproduce:
1. https://github.com/jfriesse/csts/blob/master/tests/start-cfgstop-one-by-one-with-load.sh
2. From time to time, result is (Can't shutdown, error 6) (error 6 is CS_ERR_TRY_AGAIN). Recalling of function (with patch 2) returns CS_ERR_EXISTS.

Actual results:
corosync-cfgtool -H doesn't work with high loaded cluster

Expected results:
corosync-cfgtool -H Always works
