Doug Kelly commented on DIRMINA-1021:
-------------------------------------
I'm not sure I understand your comment entirely: this is exactly what happens,
according to my analysis in a debugger.
As you commented, {{removeSessions()}} polls the queue, which means the session
is no longer in removingSessions. However, {{removeNow()}} is never called,
which calls {{destroy()}} and the {{fireSessionDestroyed()}} handlers.
Could this patch be masking the issue because the channel should be
AutoCloseable and something is still holding a reference, keeping the channel
open? Maybe calling {{removeNow()}} is masking the problem by forcibly closing
the underlying channel and calling {{fireSessionDestroyed()}}? From what I can
tell, the connection still showed up in the session list, meaning
{{getManagedSessions()}} was still tracking it, which would make sense with the
"someone else is holding a reference" idea. Sessions appear to only be removed
by {{IoServiceListenerSupport.fireSessionDestroyed()}} which further supports
the idea.
Is there another way you would propose fixing this?

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRMINA-1021
> Project: MINA
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.8
> Environment: mina-ssh 0.14.0
> mina-core 2.0.8
> Multiple OSes / Java configurations:
> * Mac OS X El Capitan on Java 8 (1.8.0_60)
> * CentOS 6.4 on Java 8 (1.8.0_60)
> * CentOS 6.5 on Java 8 (1.8.0_20-b26).

> MINA SSHD isn't removing sessions when using the MINA/NIO backend if an
> exception as received as the session is closing (such as a connection reset
> is received with data still in the write buffer). When this case happens, it
> seems that {{NioProcessor.getState}} returns the state as {{CLOSING}} (I'm
> assuming since the underlying channel is now closed), which means that the
> {{AbstractPollingIoProcessor.removeSessions()}} won't ever prune the session,
> since a {{CLOSING}} state is simply ignored. The result is a resource leak
> over time, since these sessions are never pruned (it's a slow leak, since
> entering this condition is racy – on my workstation, I can produce it through
> randomly interrupting connections anywhere from 1/6 to 1/10th of the time).
> (This may either be major or critical; reprioritize as necessary.)
> I specifically see this error with Gerrit 2.10.4 and Gerrit 2.11.5 (using
> mina-sshd 0.14.0 / mina-core 2.0.8), and it looks like the code path is
> unchanged in mina-sshd 1.0.0 / mina-core 2.0.9. I was unsure if this is
> specifically a bug in mina-core or, if it's something unique to mina-sshd. My
> local development system runs Mac OS X El Capitan on Java 8 (1.8.0_60), but
> I've also seen this on Linux (CentOS 6.4, again Java 1.8.0_60 and CentOS 6.5
> on Java 1.8.0_20-b26).
> The fix may be as simple as attempting to remove the session if {{OPENED}} or
> {{CLOSING}}, but I'm unsure what side-effects this may have with other
> backends. I'll be happy to test it locally, but I'm fairly ignorant when it
> comes to MINA's code.
> The attached patch (to mina-core) seems to resolve the issue by following the
> reproduction case I have on the [Gerrit issue
> tracker|https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=3685].
