description |
When using an iSCSI root filesystem, the /usr/share/finalrd/open-iscsi.finalrd script runs an instance of iscsid, waits for iscsid to find the existing logged-in sessions, and then logs out from the iSCSI target.
This currently fails because iscsid happens to call getpwuid() on UID 0. Within the finalrd there are no libnss_*.so libraries and no /etc/passwd file, so the getpwuid() call returns NULL. This causes iscsid to report an error "peeruser_unix: unknown local user with uid 0", and prevents iscsid from recovering the existent session. The end result is that the open-iscsi.finalrd script waits for its maximum 30 seconds and then fails to log out from the iSCSI target.
The error message is most easily observed by modifying /usr/share/finalrd/open-iscsi.finalrd to run iscsid as "iscsid -f -d 8".
An example of a minimal workaround may be seen at https://github.com/ipxe/sanbootable/commit/30bc58ce013a4db6b6d3480e42d4dc42d927fc5f

[Impact]
* The finalrd hook [1] of openiscsi runs iscsid which wants to
check for users [2] of its IPC peers. That fails for issues
with nss in that environment.
* The changes prep nss (libs) and if necesary fake a trivial
/etc/passwd so that the code runs as expected
* This avoids a delay or hang when running that code

[2]: https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-iscsi/tree/usr/mgmt_ipc.c?h=ubuntu/hirsute-devel#n371
[Test Plan]
* Set up iscsi root and then shut-down the system
* Check for errors or delay on the final cleanup which is here
this code runs.
[Where problems could occur]
* Since the only thin the update touches is the finalrd hook
there are two places to look out for
a) finalrd generation which means look for finalrd.service
b) shutdown of a system (as this is when systemd-shutdown pivots into
this environment)
[Other Info]
* nss is in use very indirectly here from getpwuid in glibc via nssswicth
config into the default value "file" to the lib
* if unaware it might be worth to have a look at finalrd itself
