Description Jose A. Rivera 2013-06-24 18:29:25 UTC 
Created attachment 764740 [details]
Crash-reproducing script.

Description of problem:
Gluster trusted pool client authentication should not rely on privileged ports. This leads to a resource contention on privileged ports when many connections are made in rapid succession.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.4.0.11rhs

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add the following lines to the VFS share definition in smb.conf:
glusterfs:logfile=<logfile>
glusterfs:loglevel=7

2. Run the attached crashmaker.sh script.
Usage: ./crashmaker.sh //<server>/<gluster-vfs-share> <username> <password>

Actual results:
On our systems, around connection 490 we start seeing errors in <logfile> and experience connection timeouts.

Expected results:
No errors and no timeouts.
