Re: Pre-release of Version 2.1.8

I'm probably stupid as I never learn, but I'm going to take my chances
reporting succcess again

The v2.1.x branch from github up to and including commit
1d80707880c1bf94ad1e87be74221a6c7b4cb4c7 has now been running stable for
more than 5 days for me.  All the previously reported problems seem to
be gone.  So I'd say it makes a good 2.1.8 release for Christmas.

aye - there were some questions relating to getting some of the older
requested patches put into 2.1.8 too - has that been addressed?

  Thanks.  I've added a bunch more minor changes (docs, checks from
static analysis tools, etc.)  But no more code changes.

  It should be good to go...

   Which patches?

there were a couple cant remember exactly - i know one was '17' - the CHAP one. 
I applied it locally to my pre 2.1.8 - it didnt go in 100% clean because
it was written some time backthings appear to be okay after it went in.

wasnt there also an SQL one and a proxy one?

  This version is from the new v2.1.x branch, which is Version 2.1.7,
 plus *only* bug fixes.  The stable branch is now planned to become
 version 2.2.0 in January.  It will include TCP transport, among other
 new features.
 
  If there are no major issues, we can release 2.1.8 next week.

  That shouldn't happen... ever!

  In fact, I've never seen it happen.  It can occur only when memory is
free'd, and still used.

 The former one I have seen before and assuemd it was a bug in libldap, 
 however I guess maybe freeradius should be catching the SIGPIPE there?

  Nope.  The libraries usually re-set the signal handlers.

 As for the latter one, that's new to me.  Alas it is going to be

  It should either happen a lot, or not at all.

  Can any conclusions be drawn from this? I send over the detailed logs if

   The home servers are pathetic.
 
   Also, the proxy  fail-over algorithms in 2.1.x are much better than

Yes, I plan to upgrade. 2.1.x did need some ironing out first, as you know :)

 I have to correct myself after looking over the logs:  The server
 stopped answering authentication requsts, but it continued to answer
 accounting requests.

   Found, fixed, pushed to v2.1.x on github.

Yes, now it continues to answer both authentication and accounting
requests, but it still stops proxying after a while (where a while
might be something like 20+ hours and 1+ million auth requests - I have
no indication that these values are fixed).

There are a number of servers marked alive, but these are all servers
which have been revived after the fixed period.  When used, they will be
marked dead/zombie again.

I'm running the v2.1.x branch from github, with
cbbcb5232261c5b28093c3a97d6da2a16c9e06af being the last commit.


Now, I wish I could say than I was sure that some other version did not
have the same problem, but I'm not.  I'm afraid I haven't been running
any of them continuously for a long enough period to be completely sure.

But I will test that now, starting with the stable branch from
git.freeradius.org, commit d7b4f003477644978f3fefa694305dce9b5dc8bf,
which was the last point where things seemed to work

What does the log file say? There should be many messages marked 'Proxy'

case if they keep changing state so often.

home_server list, so they are directly comparable.

You'll notice that some of the home servers are truly unavailable.  This
is unfortunately something we have to live with.  There are also some
servers which are unavailable at certain times, but mostly available.

At approximately 08:40 something happens, and a lot of servers are
flagged as dead or zombie.  

This could of course have been caused by network problems, but there was
no such problem at this time. Proxying goes over the same interface as
the rest of the traffic, and non-proxied authentication and accounting
continued to work without problems.  The home servers are in a number of
different networks, and any network incident taking them all out would
be very visible.

The server was restarted at 09:35 and you'll see that only the usual
suspects are logged as zombies after this.

 But I will test that now, starting with the stable branch from
 git.freeradius.org, commit d7b4f003477644978f3fefa694305dce9b5dc8bf,
 which was the last point where things seemed to work

 BTW you could probably do a git bisect.

Yes, if I can verify the good versions...  

As I said, I'm not entirely sure that there actually was a good version.
And it looks like each positive test will have to take 3+ days.  Unless
I can find out what triggers this.

Backups and other management activity is done on a separate network

Yes, these are (all?) true for some of the home servers, and there is of
course nothing my servers can do about those.  I realize that FreeRADIUS
can't do magic :-)

That's not a problem.  You provide a bad/buggy/lousy home radius server
for your users, then you get bad/buggy/lousy radius service.

My problem is that this affects *all* proxied realms, including those
with perfect radius servers.  I know, because one of those realms is our
own, running FreeRADIUS on another set of servers.

You'll notice that all the No outstanding request was found  messages
were caused by only 2 slow servers in 2 different realms. That shouldn't
bring down proxying for the other 20 realms.

I have to agree.  But that's the ideal world.

In real life, I need FreeRADIUS to survive anything a home server does
without any effect on other realms than the one served by the bad home
server.

oh - thats a perfect system for doing the status server queries on.
it would be good to show that there are no issues on that server
(as part of the bigger picture) when you have the status server stuff enabled
on it that still wont fix the bigger picture but might get you

  Quite possibly, yes.  The issue is that FreeRADIUS has a limited
amount of packets it can proxy without receiving a response.  Once that
limit is reached, proxying starts having issues.

  This limit is around 8K packets in 2.1.x, and will be 64K packets in
2.2.x.  So if you're getting 500 packets/s for a home server, 16s after
it goes down, all 8k slots will be used.

 In real life, I need FreeRADIUS to survive anything a home server does
 without any effect on other realms than the one served by the bad home
 server.

  If you can verify that commit d7b4f003477 works, then that should help
track down the issue.

  Until then, configuring status-checks  local detail files will
definitely help.  I would recommend doing that *anyways* for network
stability.

between 08:43:27 and 09:35:46.  That's a very long time to sit waiting

What's the actual limit here?  The number of open files left after the
sql module and others have taken their share?  Then increasing it, and
trying to tune the timeouts might help I geuss.

But I still believe sharing these resources in a way which let a few bad

 then one home server could not affect the others, regardless of the size of 
 the pool.

  Yes and no.  Let me explain in more detail.

  In 2.1.x, there are a limited number of UDP sockets that can be used
for proxied traffic.  This number is limited to 32, in src/lib/packet.c,
 macro MAX_SOCKETS.

  Due to the unconnected nature of UDP, each socket can be used to
send packets to *multiple* home servers at the same time.  So this means
that the limitation isn't really 32 sockets *total*, but (semantically)
32 sockets for every home server.

  Due to RADIUS limitations, it can only have 256 packets outstanding
for any combination of (src/ds IP/port).  So each socket can send 256
packets to every home server.

  Since there are 32 sockets and 256 packets/s, a proxy can handle 8192
packets sent to *each* home server.  If you have 13 home servers, then
the proxy can send 13*8192 = ~100K packets.

  Packets are added to the outstanding list when proxied, and removed
a short time after a response is received from the home server.  If no
response is received from the home server, the packets are removed 30s
after they were received.

  Once a packet has been removed from the outstanding list, its place
can be used by a new packet that is proxied using the same socket/id to
the same home server.

  To answer your question: Yes, there is a separate pool for each home
server.  However, they share a global set of sockets.

  The *intent* is for the pools to not affect each other.  i.e. filling
up all 8K slots for one home server should have no affect on other home
servers.

 Dropping packet without response.

well, theres a problem with shared secret there that needs to be ironed out

 Can any conclusions be drawn from this? I send over the detailed logs if

in the main it looks like the remote RADIUS server was sloow to respond to
authentications...and the other one likewise after you flipped them across.

but just 300 users caused this?

  Look at the messages *before* that one.  The proxy:

a) proxies packet 1
b) gives up on it after a time
c) proxies a new packet 2
d) receives a reply for packet 1
e) logs this message as Huh?

 So I tried the poor man's solution - I shuffled them manually, restarted
 FreeRADIUS, and then it started authenticating them, before it seemingly
 DoSed that one and entered a very similar pattern of brokenness.

  300 packets is a DoS for a RADIUS server?  Wow... that's a *bad* server.

 Can any conclusions be drawn from this? I send over the detailed logs if

  The home servers are pathetic.

2.0.4.

Did you check the XLAT fixes in? I saw commits for a couple of  fixes
but not the modified code in xlat.c...


 i guess this version also solved ASSERT FAILED event.c[2682]: request-ev !=

 Looks very promising so far.  I've not seen any problems yet. I'd vote
 for this as the best FreeRADIUS release ever :-)

  It's in the v2.1.x branch on github.  It will be in 2.1.8.

  Thanks.  We've done burn-in tests with 100's of millions of packets
in a variety of scenarios.  It looks pretty solid.

It took two more hours, then I got:

 Sun Dec  6 16:23:33 2009 : Proxy: Marking home server 10.10.10.132 port 1645 
as dead.
 Sun Dec  6 16:23:33 2009 : Error: Failed binding to proxy address * port 2727: 
Address already in use 

and the server stopped answering requests. It did not exit, and it did
not hang (at least it responeded to SIGTERM).  It just stopped answering.

The server had been running for 45 hours when this happened.  I haven't
got the faintest idea where to start looking for the bug.

I have to correct myself after looking over the logs:  The server
stopped answering authentication requsts, but it continued to answer
accounting requests.

  It's likely in a busy loop.  I'll do some local tests and see.

Pre-release of Version 2.1.8

2009-12-04 Thread Alan DeKok
  I've put a pre-release of version 2.1.8 on the web site:

http://git.freeradius.org/pre/

  Please do some sanity checks, and see if it works for you.

  This version is from the new v2.1.x branch, which is Version 2.1.7,
plus *only* bug fixes.  The stable branch is now planned to become
version 2.2.0 in January.  It will include TCP transport, among other
new features.

  If there are no major issues, we can release 2.1.8 next week.

  Alan DeKok.

No problem, I thought.  I can just go and checkout the v2.1.x branch.
But there seems to be no such branch:

  origin/master85ec4a8 Sign client certs with CA rather than server cert
  origin/release_0_8_0 0a23493  Branch is now 0.8.1

MySQL case sensitive queries.
  origin/stable8c32094 Sign client certs with CA rather than server cert

which might explain the empty arhives as well, I guess..

  It's on github.  If there are cries of panic over 2.1.8, we'll make it
