Hi,

I have an issue with SMB cluster failover. There are two Windows 2012 R2
Datacenter servers in the cluster. If the primary server is turned off,
then the secondary server becomes the primary. However, when this
happens the kernel client is not able to recover the mount.

Here is the reconnection network trace:

After the secondary server takes over (presumably once it stops
returning STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME), it then returns
STATUS_NETWORK_NAME_DELETED indefinitely.

This can be fixed by delaying the tree connect to IPC$ until after the
tree connect to the share succeeds.  The server then no longer returns
STATUS_NETWORK_NAME_DELETED and instead responds successfully.  I'm not
sure why the server behaves like this and I'm not sure if the client is
doing something wrong. I found this out because it used to work on older
kernels before b327a717e506 ("CIFS: make IPC a regular tcon").

Here is the patch that makes it work:


Can anyone give any more info on this oddity and whether this is a 
useful patch?

Thanks,

Couple quick thoughts.

Does this work on current kernels (5.0 for example).

Was thinking about patches that might affect this like:
- "cifs: connect to servername instead of IP for IPC$ share"
- "smb3: on reconnect set PreviousSessionId field"
- Paulo's patches (has cifs-utils coreq) to reconnect to new IP
address if hostname's IP address changed and his add support for
failover
- Paulo's patch to remove trailing slashes from server UNC name

The reconnect is apparently using a dotted-quad as the servername, and you can see the auth is forced to NTLM as a consequence. Is that the way you initially mounted the share (i.e. mount 10.71.217.50:/smbshare /mnt)?

I've reproduced this with 5.0-rc7 and the latest cifs-utils from git. 
The share was mounted as follows (yes, by IP):

mount.cifs -o 
vers=3.0,cache=loose,actimeo=0,username=x,domain=y,password=z 
'//10.71.217.31/smbshare' /mnt

Here is the tcpdump when it fails to reconnect properly:
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=55518118986864684971

The initial connection is at timestamp 0s, reconnection at 13s, 
STATUS_NETWORK_NAME_DELETED at 60s.

For comparison, here is a tcpdump using the "fix" from my previous mail:
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=04243963024741599425

The initial connection is at timestamp 0s, reconnection at 34s, 
successful read request at 215s.

Note that the tree connect for IPC$ only happens _after_ the tree 
connect for the share succeeds.

Thanks for the full traces, they clarify the situation. But, I don’t see any
meaningful difference in the client behavior. The ordering of the two
treeconnects is the same between the two - initially, "IPC$" then
"smbshare", and on reconnect, the other way around. So, I'm unclear
whether your patch did anything.

The STATUS_NETWORK_NAME_DELETED is a consequence of the failed
re-establishment of the tree connect, and is not itself the problem. The
server is simply timing out the treeid, since the client did not successfully
reclaim it. The repeated STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME is the issue.

Are you sure the clustered server is recovering properly when you are
forcing the failover? For example, if it's a two-node cluster, maybe node A
can take over node B, but node B has issues taking over node A. Is there
anything relevant in the server logs?

Tom.

There is definitely a difference. Before the patch, on reconnect the client:

* Connects to "smbshare" which fails
* Then connects to "IPC$" which succeeds
* Then tries again to connect to smbshare which fails repeatedly

After the patch, on reconnect the client:

* Connects to "smbshare" which fails
* Then tries again to connect to "smbshare" which succeeds after several 
retries
* Then tries to connect to "IPC$" which succeeds

This subtle reordering somehow makes it work. It may indeed be a server 
bug rather than a client bug. I was hoping someone could shed some light 
on this.

It's a two node cluster. The behaviour happens reliably when failing 
over either way. After failover, the server state is consistent. E.g. 
after a failover from node A to node B, node B shows itself as the 
primary server and the node A is marked as down. I couldn't find 
anything interesting in the server logs.

I'm still not so sure the difference is relevant. The timing is a bit different, but
in itself the IPC$ treeconnect isn't actually used, and in any case it succeeds
in both scenarios. So, I'm thinking it's either the timing, or coincidence.

> * Connects to "smbshare" which fails

Here's what I see:
Event / timestamp / etc
Connection lost / 25.97 / Server sends many RST to client
Connection reestablished / 34.17
Treeconnect to smbshare / 34.17 / STATUS_B_N_N (retries with same result every 2 sec)
Treeconnect to IPC$ / 34.18 / success
Treeconnect to smbshare / 60.38 / STATUS_N_N_D (etc)

> After the patch, on reconnect the client:

This time:
Connection lost  / 9.81 / Server sends RST
Connection reestablished / 9.82 / status 0xc0000466 (some weird disk hardware status)
Connection lost / 13.53 / Server sends RST
Connection reestablished / 13.53
Treeconnect to smbshare / 13.63 / STATUS_B_N_N (retries with same result every 2 sec)
Treeconnect to smbshare / 43.90 / success (about 30 secs, 17 retries elapsed)
Treeconnect to IPC$ / 43.90 / success

So, the main effect of your patch is that the IPC$ attempt happens a lot *later*,
it certainly didn't affect the success of the smbshare treeconnect - it happened
only after that succeeded! And I don't see how deferring an unrelated treeconnect
would help that. I bet it would have the same result if the IPC$ didn't happen at
all.

I really think there's something wrong with your server, and not because of a bug.
Unfortunately both Steve and I are at FAST'19 and Vault here in Boston, so we're
not able to get much done. I'd love to understand this better, though...
