Created attachment 7258 [details]
Log file with loglevel=10 and crash in the end.

When enabling smb2 protocol, I get inconsistently crashes. Tested on samba 3.6.1 and new 3.6.2. Filesystem is zfs. configuration is this:
[global]
    encrypt passwords = yes
    passdb backend=smbpasswd
    dns proxy = no
    max log size = 1000000
    netbios name = zipper-share
    workgroup = WORKGROUP
    security = user
    create mask = 0666
    create mask = 0666
    directory mask = 0777
    client ntlmv2 auth = yes
    dos charset = CP866
    unix charset = UTF-8
    log level = 1
    log file = /var/log/samba/smbd.%m
    socket options=IPTOS_THROUGHPUT IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY
    use sendfile = no
    aio read size = 16384
    aio write size = 16384
    load printers = no
    oplocks = yes
    max xmit = 65435
    deadtime = 5
    large readwrite = no
    max protocol = smb2

for testing purposes, i've changed log level to 10 and attached the whole log file to this report. 

client is Windows 7 Ultimate. This happens time to time. Without SMB2 enabled, everything works fine.

Comment 1 Jeremy Allison 2012-01-26 22:35:06 UTC
Looks like it's going down inside smbd_aio_complete_aio_ex().

I need a good stack backtrace from you. Set:

panic action = /bin/sleep 999999

in the [global] section of your smb.conf and when it does you'll get the crashed smbd as the parent of the sleep process. Attach to it with gdb and type "bt" to get a backtrace - then post that to this bug.

In the meantime for production use try turning off aio by removing the lines:

    aio read size = 16384
    aio write size = 16384

from your smb.conf. I bet that fixes the problem. Also remove:

socket options=IPTOS_THROUGHPUT IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY
max xmit = 65435
large readwrite = no
encrypt passwords = yes

as these are legacy parameter settings that make no sense on modern Samba.

Jeremy.

if I need to recompile samba with debugging, tell me please how can I do this.
Comment 3 Jeremy Allison 2012-01-30 19:24:58 UTC
No, as you guessed that doesn't help, sorry :-). When compiling Samba ensure that the -g flag is passed to the compiler and linker to ensure debug symbols are included.

Jeremy.

I don't disable settings that you suggested to finally track this bug.
Comment 6 Adam Grigolato 2012-08-26 15:00:09 UTC
I also have a very similar, if not the same issue,
3.6.7
FreeBSD 9
AMD64, ZFS file system.

with SMB2 enabled, random crashes; especially when transferring large files from
samba to windows box.

I will attempt to get a backtrace tomorrow and upload it.
Comment 7 Jeremy Allison 2012-10-09 00:19:17 UTC
Still waiting for backtrace...
Comment 8 Matthew Trent (dead mail address) 2012-10-11 15:27:39 UTC
A "me too" probably isn't super productive here, but my usage of FreeBSD is limited to embedded/appliance stuff which doesn't have debugging tools...

I have also experienced this crash regularly when transferring files when SMB2 and AIO are enabled together on both FreeBSD 8.3 and 9.x based systems.

The issue is noted in the NAS4Free release notes (at the bottom):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nas4free/files/NAS4Free-9.1.0.1/9.1.0.1.344/

I will work on getting gdb loaded and get a stack trace. Thanks for your instructions on the procedure, Jeremy.
Comment 9 Jeremy Allison 2012-10-11 17:49:13 UTC
If you can get any FreeNAS developer to contact me directly about this I'll work on getting it fixed for them.

FreeNAS is an incredibly important platform for us and I know of no outstanding bugs with *BSD, Samba SMB2 and AIO. Obviously I'm wrong, but they haven't reported it to us.

If you have a FreeNAS contact name that would do also.

Thanks for your reply, Jeremy. I've posted in the NAS4Free forum referencing this bugzilla entry. I'll do that in the FreeNAS forum as well, since both NAS4Free and FreeNAS exhibit this behavior. It seems fairly universal, but under the radar, as AIO + SMB2 is not the default config.

See also this forum post where this issue is mentioned as affecting FreeNAS:

Heya Jeremy, I'm the lead FreeNAS developer.  What can I do to help out?
Comment 12 Jeremy Allison 2012-10-12 20:05:46 UTC
Thanks for getting back to me.

I'd like you to give me some more info on what is failing in SMB2 when you turn on AIO. Stack backtraces etc.

Also please log bugs directly on this bugzilla for FreeNAS issues.

Jeremy.
Comment 13 Matthew Trent (dead mail address) 2012-10-12 20:31:06 UTC
FYI, steps to reproduce on FreeNAS 8.x:

Add "max protocol = smb2" to Samba auxiliary parameters, and enable AIO. Restart service/reconnect client.

Start transferring large (multi-GB) files back and forth with a FreeNAS CIFS share. Within a few seconds or minutes of heavy transfers, you'll have it abort, smbd exits on signal 6, and errors in the smbd logs. Crash seems to happen more (always?) when reading files from the server, rather than writing.

I'm using Windows 2008 R2 or Windows 7 as client, and a Dell Xeon E5310 1.6 with 12GB and FreeNAS 8.x 64-bit for server. Backing filesystem is ZFS.
Comment 14 Jeremy Allison 2012-10-12 20:34:42 UTC
Can you get me a stack backtrace with symbols and post it here ?

Easiest way is to set:

panic action = /bin/sleep 999999

in the [global] section of the smb.conf, reproduce the crash and then attach to the parent of the sleep process with gdb, then get the backtrace.

Cheers,

Jeremy.
Comment 15 Matthew Trent (dead mail address) 2012-10-15 22:30:22 UTC
I've installed a full FreeBSD system and got Samba 3.6.7 compiled and running from the ports tree with the MAX_DEBUG option.

I can reproduce the problem, but although panic action = "/bin/sleep 999999" is definitely set in smb.conf, the "panic action" doesn't seem to run. So the process goes away and I have nothing to which to attach GDB.

One thing I have noticed, while watching 'ps' during a file transfer, is that just before it crashes, a number of [aiodXX] (where XX is different numbers) processes pop up. Before the crash, there are about 5 of the [aiodXX] processes. Then it jumps up to about 30 [aiodXX] processes, and crashes.

Any ideas why "panic action" isn't working? (The /bin/sleep binary exists and works fine.)
Comment 16 Jeremy Allison 2012-10-16 09:14:39 UTC
Ok, that's actually a more serious bug than the AIO problem :-).

We depend on panic action working to get any useful backtraces.

Look inside source3/lib/fault.c and you'll find:

/**
setup our fault handlers
**/
_PUBLIC_ void fault_setup(const char *pname)
{
        if (progname != NULL) {
                return;
        }
        progname = pname;
#ifdef SIGSEGV
        CatchSignal(SIGSEGV, sig_fault);
#endif
#ifdef SIGBUS
        CatchSignal(SIGBUS, sig_fault);
#endif
#ifdef SIGABRT
        CatchSignal(SIGABRT, sig_fault);
#endif
#ifdef SIGFPE
        CatchSignal(SIGFPE, sig_fault);
#endif
}

Is there the equivalent of a /proc entry you can look at to ensure the signal handlers have been installed correctly on the smbd process. Can you try deliberately introducing a SIGSEGV or other fault (maybe using the kill command) to determine why it's not correctly calling sig_fault on receiving a signal ?

Jeremy.
Comment 17 Matthew Trent (dead mail address) 2012-10-17 23:14:52 UTC
Well the "panic action" not running culprit was using the FreeBSD port's MAX_DEBUG config option. FYI, this sets the following options, at least one of which breaks panic action execution:
.if defined(WITH_MAX_DEBUG)
CPPFLAGS+=              -g
LDFLAGS+=               -g
LIB_DEPENDS+=           dmalloc.1:${PORTSDIR}/devel/dmalloc
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --enable-debug \
                        --enable-socket-wrapper --enable-nss-wrapper \
                        --enable-developer --enable-krb5developer \
                        --enable-dmalloc --with-profiling-data

CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --with-smbtorture4-path=${WRKDIR}/${DISTNAME}/source4/torture


Anyway, I recompiled with just CPPFLAGS+=-g, LDFLAGS+=-g, and --enable-debug. 'file' shows the resulting smbd binary is NOT stripped.

However, I still don't get useful results from gdb. I'm stumped.

I will say, when I added my comment in April, I did have Samba 3.6.13 and did the problem.  I have not seen the crash happen though in about the past month, I haven't really updated anything of note on my system in that time though.
Comment 26 Matthew Trent (dead mail address) 2013-06-18 21:21:51 UTC
I actually did have some crashes with 3.6.13 when I had the "sendfile" option enabled. I disabled that and it's been 100% since with AIO+SMB2. This was not the case with pre-3.6.12 versions.
Comment 27 Dan 2013-07-02 02:39:44 UTC
I am experiencing smbd crash + kernel oops, with recent hardware upgrade to 1Gbpe. Transferring 1.5g of data off from windows7 can sustain slightly over 800Mbps+. Most of the time, 1st file transfer will complete without crashing SMB + kernel, but 2nd transfer will crash every time.

I am running Fedora18 x64 with E6300. Dunno its really a SMB issue or a bigger x64 networkcard driver issue. Will attempt ftp later this week and report back.

any additional info I should provide to help bugfix?

If it's a kernel oops, then it's not a Samba problem but a Linux one - by definition.

Sorry.

Jeremy.

First, I don't like that someone piggy backed Linux kernel problem on a FreeBSD-specific bug.

Second, I don't like that it was closed due that reason, as the original problem wasn't addressed or it was proved that it has the same roots.
Comment 31 Jeremy Allison 2013-07-02 16:09:44 UTC
Oh sorry Timur. I only read the last comment about the kernel oops and assumed that was the whole issue.

You know I don't close FreeBSD Samba bugs arbitrarily :-).

Re-opening..

Jeremy.

Thanks, Jeremy. I really like this to be pinpointed somehow, according your request ports version of the samba36 has following flags during build:

--exec-prefix="/usr/local"  --sysconfdir="/usr/local/etc"  --with-configdir="/usr/local/etc"  --includedir="/usr/local/include/samba"  --datadir="/usr/local/share/samba36"  --with-swatdir="/usr/local/share/swat"  --libdir="/usr/local/lib"  --with-pammodulesdir="/usr/local/lib"  --with-modulesdir="/usr/local/lib/samba"  --localstatedir="/var"  --with-piddir="/var/run/samba"  --with-ncalrpcdir="/var/run/samba/ncalrpc"  --with-nmbdsocketdir="/var/run/samba/nmbd"  --with-lockdir="/var/db/samba"  --with-statedir="/var/db/samba"  --with-cachedir="/var/db/samba"  --with-privatedir="/usr/local/etc/samba"  --with-logfilebase="/var/log/samba" --without-libtdb --enable-external-libtdb --without-libtalloc --enable-external-libtalloc --without-libtevent --enable-external-libtevent --with-libiconv="/usr/local"  --disable-as-needed --with-pam --with-readline=/usr  --with-included-iniparser  --with-sendfile-support  --enable-largefile  --without-cluster-support  --without-libsmbclient  --without-libaddns  --without-libnetapi  --without-libsmbsharemodes --enable-cups --enable-iprint --enable-debug --with-smbtorture4-path=/usr/ports/net/samba36/work/samba-3.6.16/source4/torture --with-syslog --with-quotas --with-utmp --with-winbind --enable-swat --enable-fam --with-acl-support --with-aio-support --with-pam_smbpass --with-dnsupdate --enable-avahi --enable-pthreadpool --without-included-popt --with-ads --with-krb5="/usr" --with-ldap --with-shared-modules="idmap_tdb2,idmap_ad,idmap_adex,idmap_hash,idmap_rid,charset_weird,vfs_cacheprime,vfs_catia,vfs_commit,vfs_dirsort,vfs_readahead,vfs_streams_depot,vfs_syncops,vfs_notify_fam,vfs_zfsacl" --prefix=/usr/local

Note --with-aio-support and --enable-pthreadpool. But that was a case already for 3.6.13(and 16 now). So not sure, did it improve the situation or not.

Yup, indeed, ftp-ing same large file exhibits same kernal-oops, most likely due to RTL 1Gbpe chipset driver issue.

Sorry about posting this on freeBSD group, was skimping thru very quickly. This bug, ranked #1 on google with my combination of keywords. Mum would be so proud.

Comment 34 Matthew Trent (dead mail address) 2013-08-27 18:11:50 UTC
FYI the SMB2 + AIO crash is manifesting again with recent versions of FreeNAS (9.1.1+). So this issue is still present with recent versions of FreeBSD (9.1-STABLE) and Samba (3.6.17).

FreeNAS folks have elected to just remove/disable the AIO option:
https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/3079#change-8030
https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/3071

Suprisingly, at least with my current setup, performance is actually better without AIO. So disabling AIO may be an acceptable option for anyone affected by this.

If possible, it would be great if people could test aio with Samba 4.0. There by default we don't depend on kernel aio anymore but instead do it with pthreads. This will at least change the picture.
Comment 36 Jeremy Allison 2013-08-28 00:10:12 UTC
Actually performance can be better without AIO depending on what the client is capable of (the more parallelization, the faster things go). So this isn't so surprising.

Jeremy.
Comment 37 Björn Jacke 2017-11-19 21:19:00 UTC
no feedback since long and smb2 in samba 3.6 wasn't very usable either. closing this bug. if you see similar issues with the latest samba release, please file a new bug for that.
