Alan M. Carroll reassigned TS-1487:
-----------------------------------
Assignee: Alan M. Carroll
> the ordering of plugin_init and init_HttpProxyServer cause crashed TS to core
> endlessly
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TS-1487
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-1487
> Project: Traffic Server
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 3.2.0
> Environment: Linux RHEL6.2
> Reporter: Aidan McGurn
> Assignee: Alan M. Carroll
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: INTD-529-RespawnCrash.patch, INTD-529-RespawnCrash.patch
>
>
> We've had a serious issue whereby the TS when it crashes re-spawns/cores
> continuously when its tries to re-start under load. I traced the issue to
> SNMP research library (a third party lib)- They use selects and what happens
> is the file descriptor number spikes under load after the crash as all the
> sockets get opened at once - this causes buffer overflow in the select (which
> their library is full of) as the fd allocated to the FD_SET is much bigger
> than the FD_SETSIZE of 1024 (which was a bitch to track down as the stack
> was corrupted and gdb therefore useless). Tracing why this happened on 3.2.0
> and not 3.0.2, I find the sequence
> of the plugin_init has changed - On 3.0.2 the sequence was in effect 1.
> plugin_init and then 2. init_HttpProxyServer. Whereas this has mysteriously
> been reversed on 3.2.0. In order to get our system to work in this crash case
> , I've patched ATS to flip them around like in 3.0.2.
> i'll attach the patch we propose we need to use to get around this.
> Is this actually a bug then waiting to happen in other systems - Or was there
> a reason to change this sequence?
