description |
Because the idmapd upstart job uses a script line instead of directly exec'ing the server, in the case where /usr is a separate partition and not yet mounted at the time the job is started (e.g., because an NFS mount is attempted in parallel to an fsck of /usr), the job will fail to start and get wedged in a 'start/running' state with no associated PID (upstart bug #545673). If we exec the daemon directly, upstart will detect the exec() failure and respawn as needed.
This partially addresses the problems described in bug #643289, and is worth SRUing in its own right even though it doesn't provide a complete solution for all users. |
Because the idmapd upstart job uses a script line instead of directly exec'ing the server, in the case where /usr is a separate partition and not yet mounted at the time the job is started (e.g., because an NFS mount is attempted in parallel to an fsck of /usr), the job will fail to start and get wedged in a 'start/running' state with no associated PID (upstart bug #545673). If we exec the daemon directly, upstart will detect the exec() failure and respawn as needed.
This partially addresses the problems described in bug #643289, and is worth SRUing in its own right even though it doesn't provide a complete solution for all users.
SRU justification: race conditions in the nfs-utils upstart jobs cause NFS client startup to be unreliable in certain configurations in lucid and above, a regression vs. pre-upstart releases of Ubuntu.
Although this upload includes the removal of the rpc_pipefs job (moving its functionality into the gssd and idmapd jobs for simplicity), the real risk of regression here is very small. There are no changes to the start/stop conditions to the gssd or idmapd jobs, only a change to the script rule for the idmapd job. This should have *no effect* except in the case where /usr/sbin/rpc.idmapd is missing at the time the job runs - i.e., in the case when /usr has not yet been mounted.
TEST CASE:
1. configure a system with /usr on a separate partition.
2. install nfs-common from the release (or -updates) pocket.
3. configure an NFSv4 mount in /etc/fstab to trigger idmapd to start before /usr is mounted. (The nfsv4 mount does not have to actually be mountable. Here is an example entry:
borges:/ /home/devel nfs4 sec=krb5i,proto=tcp 0 0
)
4. boot and verify with 'service idmapd' that the idmapd service is left in state 'start/running', with no associated process.
5. install nfs-common from the -proposed pocket and reboot.
6. verify with 'service idmapd' that the idmapd service has been successfully started, and is in state 'start/running' with an associated pid. |
