This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled libceph: avoid truncation due to racing banners to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.yuz extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.yuz tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Herton ------ From ee1f61238abff9ca2b153f0256b43822c6bf0d3d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Schutt <jaschut@sandia.gov> Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2012 10:37:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 71/78] libceph: avoid truncation due to racing banners commit 6d4221b53707486dfad3f5bfe568d2ce7f4c9863 upstream. Because the Ceph client messenger uses a non-blocking connect, it is possible for the sending of the client banner to race with the arrival of the banner sent by the peer. When ceph_sock_state_change() notices the connect has completed, it schedules work to process the socket via con_work(). During this time the peer is writing its banner, and arrival of the peer banner races with con_work(). If con_work() calls try_read() before the peer banner arrives, there is nothing for it to do, after which con_work() calls try_write() to send the client's banner. In this case Ceph's protocol negotiation can complete succesfully. The server-side messenger immediately sends its banner and addresses after accepting a connect request, *before* actually attempting to read or verify the banner from the client. As a result, it is possible for the banner from the server to arrive before con_work() calls try_read(). If that happens, try_read() will read the banner and prepare protocol negotiation info via prepare_write_connect(). prepare_write_connect() calls con_out_kvec_reset(), which discards the as-yet-unsent client banner. Next, con_work() calls try_write(), which sends the protocol negotiation info rather than the banner that the peer is expecting. The result is that the peer sees an invalid banner, and the client reports "negotiation failed". Fix this by moving con_out_kvec_reset() out of prepare_write_connect() to its callers at all locations except the one where the banner might still need to be sent.
