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.

Fixed In Version: corosync-1.4.1-16.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Confdb client uses corosync heavily and corosync is exited (sending SIGINT or corosync-cfgtool). Consequence: Corosync will never exit. Fix: Make sure all confdb IPC connections are closed on corosync exit. Result: Corosync will exit properly.

Proposed patch - part 1 - Free confdb message holder list on confdb exit

Description of problem:
objdb_notify_dispatch traverse thru confdb_ipc_message_holder_list list
until it's empty. If IPC connection is still feeding confdb/objdb with
changes then iteration will never end. To prevent this and let corosync
properly preempt, terminal condition is enhanced with maximum number of
processed items from list. Change makes confdb preemptable so corosync
can accept new connections, receive/send token, ...

Also when confdb service is unloaded. it's needed to free confdb message holder list. This operation will not only properly free memory, but also decreases
connection reference(s). This should solve deadloop in
coroipcs_ipc_service_exit, because confdb_exit_fn removes not only
notify_pipe but also deletes poll_dispatch, so nobody is left to
unreference connections.

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

How reproducible:
98.76

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start corosync -p
2. Start IPC client which track key changes and also make changes of that key
3. Exit corosync (sending SIGINT)

"Unit" test:
https://github.com/jfriesse/csts/blob/master/tests/stop-with-confdb-load.sh

Actual results:
Corosync will not exit (unit test $? != 0)

Expected results:
Corosync will properly exit (unit test $? == 0)
