Error description

  • When socketpair calls are used on the system we could see
    a crash in socket code path (close, send, etc.) due to
    one
    of the sockets in the freelist.
    Stack could be something like,
    
    [00009514].simple_lock+000014 ()
    [0049EB08]unp_disconnect@AF32_12+000228 (??, ??, ??, ??,
     ??)
    [0049C574]uipc_usrreq+0005D4 (??, ??, ??, ??, ??)
    [004C75A8]sodisconn+0001A8 (??)
    [004C6DE4]soclose2+000BE4 (??, ??)
    [004C8070]soclose+000010 (??)
    [004D2734]soo_close+000294 (??)
    [00630F7C]closef+00005C (??)
    [00547890]closefd+000150 (??, ??)
    [00547C44]closex+000304 (??, ??)
    [00547EBC]close+00011C (??)
    [00003850]ovlya_addr_sc_flih_main+000130 ()
    [kdb_get_virtual_memory] no real storage @ 111694A50
    [900000000B192F4]0900000000B192F4 ()
    [kdb_read_mem] no real storage @ FFFFFFFFFFF6380
    
    This is because the socket in unp_conn is already freed.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:
    * Systems running the AIX 7100-01 Technology Level.
    *
    * Customers running Oracle RAC 11.2.0.3 or newer, with
    * Oracle Cluster Health Monitor (CHM), are likely to see
    * this problem.
    *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    * System crash using socketpair() with a stack similar to:
    *
    *  00009514 .simple_lock+000014 ()
    *  0049EB08 unp_disconnect@AF32_12+000228 (??, ??, ??, ??, ??)

    *  kdb_read_mem  no real storage @ FFFFFFFFFFF6380
    *
    * The application involved is likely to be multithreaded.
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:
    * Install APAR IV21235.
    *
    * Prior to APAR availability, an interim fix is available from:
    * ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com:/aix/ifixes/iv21235/
    ****************************************************************
    

Problem conclusion

  • The code in socketpair() system call modifid so that in
    multithreaded environment, another thread is not able to close
    one of the sockets during critical pairing phase.
