rpcsvc: Add rpchdr and proghdr to iobref before submitting to transport
Issue: When fio is run on multiple clients (each client writes to its own files), and meanwhile the clients does a readdirp, thus the client which did a readdirp will now recieve the upcalls. In this scenario the client disconnects with rpc decode failed error. RCA: Upcall calls rpcsvc_request_submit to submit the request to socket: rpcsvc_request_submit currently: rpcsvc_request_submit () { iobuf = iobuf_new iov = iobuf->ptr fill iobuf to contain xdrised upcall content - proghdr rpcsvc_callback_submit (..iov..) ... if (iobuf) iobuf_unref (iobuf) } rpcsvc_callback_submit (... iov...) { ... iobuf = iobuf_new iov1 = iobuf->ptr fill iobuf to contain xdrised rpc header - rpchdr msg.rpchdr = iov1 msg.proghdr = iov ... rpc_transport_submit_request (msg) ... if (iobuf) iobuf_unref (iobuf) } rpcsvc_callback_submit assumes that once rpc_transport_submit_request() returns the msg is written on to socket and thus the buffers(rpchdr, proghdr) can be freed, which is not the case. In especially high workload, rpc_transport_submit_request() may not be able to write to socket immediately and hence adds it to its own queue and returns as successful. Thus, we have use after free, for rpchdr and proghdr. Hence the clients gets garbage rpchdr and proghdr and thus fails to decode the rpc, resulting in disconnect. To prevent this, we need to add the rpchdr and proghdr to a iobref and send it in msg: iobref_add (iobref, iobufs) msg.iobref = iobref; The socket layer takes a ref on msg.iobref, if it cannot write to socket and is adding to the queue. Thus we do not have use after free.
