From 32578afb817f20446d888326814b52a8f3d6c0fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simo Sorce Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2017 16:59:18 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Do not call gpm_grab_sock() twice In the gpm_get_ctx() call, we unnecessarily call gpm_grab_sock() which would cause the lock to be held by one thread and never released. We already call gpm_grab_sock() as the first thing after gpm_get_ctx() in gpm_make_call(), plus gpm_make_call() properly releases the socket once done. This corrects the deadlock fix in 461a5fa9f91a2753ebeef6323a64239c35e2f250, which incorrectly released the lock we wanted to grab. This caused the socket to not be locked to our thread. Another thread could come along and change the global ctx while we were still using the socket from another thread, causing concurrency issues as only one request can be in flight on any given socket at the same time. In special cases where the "thread" uid/gid changes (like in rpc.gssd), we end up closing the socket while we are still waiting for an answer from the server, causing additional issues and confusion.
